**My** Turn to SRE One of the students in Mr. Mac’s class brought in samples of minerals her family had collected on a trip. The students were put into groups to observe the different properties of the mineral samples. After making observations of the minerals below, the students put them in the groups based on their observations.

He missed all the fun when we tried to figure out which chemical additive would make the flowers last the longest. Instead of just water in the fourth beaker, why didn't we try another chemical? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">A.) We used just water because we couldn't think of anything else to add to the water. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">B.) We used plain water to compare the affects of the other additives <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">C.) We used water because all plants need water to grow <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">D.) We used water because we wanted to see how much liquid the daisies absorbed

The Earth is rotating on its axis. || Autumn looked up at the constellation Orion after she learned about it in Science class last week.
