Grade 2

A visitor from space

Module 4

Zero explores

  • Design a necklace for Zero that he can show his people on the planet. Use beads, seeds and other interesting articles.

My design:

  • What are you going to use to make the necklace?

Zero is excited about our beautiful green country. He wants to take some of our plants to his planet. Do you think the plants will grow there?

Discuss in your groups:

  • Is there water on Mars?
  • Do you think the sun shines on Mars?
  • Will somebody on the planet know how to look after the plants?
  • Do plants need water?

Group work: plan an experiment.

Remember:

  • You must use two plants so that you can compare them.
  • You must treat them exactly the same except for what you are testing.
  • You must record what you notice.
  • Draw a picture of what you are going to do:
  • What do you think will happen?

My observations

  • What did happen?
  • Would you like to pay a visit to Zero?
  • Draw a picture of Zero and his vehicle.
