Emily's Science Experiment

The 4th grade just concluded a science experiment section and Emily did a great job on hers. She decided to plant seeds in different types of soil and see which one did the best. She used regular garden dirt, dirt with turkey fertilizer, dirt with Miracle Grow, dirt with fertilizer & Miracle Grow, sand and plain turkey fertilizer. Interestingly, the sand and the dirt with Miracle Grow did the best.

For a several weeks, she'd water them and we'd take some pictures of them. My mom helped us too by watching them when we went to Oregon for Easter. Then, the 4th graders set up their posters at school and the parents and students could come and see them. Good work Emily!!
