My Garden Challenge :3

My Garden Challenge

im making my scarecrow in the holidays
I Am Doing:
1) researching how the water travels through a plant and dying plants.
2) building a scarecrow to protect the garden.

Why I Am Doing This:
1) last year i did a experiment also i wanted to know how it travels so i know how much water you should give a plant.
2) i wanted to build a scarecrow because one i haven't built one before. two because i want to protect the garden. three because it will be fun designing it.

Who Im Working With
im working with Lily R we are going 
to do making a scarecrow and dying plants together.
i want to work her because then i can support her and help her.

How Scarecrows Work
they protected the garden from bad birds and crows.
they look cool in the garden keep your plants safe.

How Dying Plants Work
basically water travels through the plants veins all through the plant.
if dye went through a plant it would travel through the veins. since it goes through the plant it would dye the plant causing it to change color. beware of pollution in the plant.

 Materials for Scarecrow  

  • Plastic ball (lily) done

  • 4 Strong Wooden sticks  (18cm long and 4cm thick) (lily)

this is my plan of the scarecrow
the head will be made of a plastic ball and painted with light yellow paint we will use clay to create the 
eyes, cat ears, paws, and tail, the eyes will be painted with white and black paint the ears will painted light yellow with pink insides the paws will also be painted with light yellow with a paw print pattern in pink we will use a pink shirt for the chest we will paint the tail light yellow too we will use a strong wooden stick for the post which holds it up

what we are doing for inquriy in the hoildays
we are going to build the scarecrow in the hoildays and do the expriment on the flowers
1) we are going to the flowers in the school hoildays because its easier to get the flowers
2) we are going to make the scarecrow in the hoildays because we won't be as rushed and we can easily can get the materials

  1. Hi Olivia, You have made a very thorough plan for your plant research. I look forward to seeing some pictures on here of the scarecrow when it is finished. What do you think will be the most challenging part? Good work.
