Grade 2 News

Division 6, with Mrs. Marsland-Root, is very excited to be learning about the changes that caterpillars go through on their fascinating journey to becoming butterflies. They can’t wait to witness the transformation from larvae to pupa to adult butterfly first hand.

They are also getting ready to participate in an actual scientific experiment for the Canadian Space Agency. They will be planting and caring for 2 sets of tomato seeds, one of which has been exposed to simulated space conditions. They will record their observations about both groups and submit their results so that scientists can learn how to grow food in space ships for use on long flights into outer space!
