1st & 2nd Graders Plant Growth Observations on iPad

This year instead of recording grass/alfalfa and brassica observations in a paper journal my students are writing and drawing in the iDiary app. As with paper they observe their plants every 3-4 days and record observations and, as appropriate, new definitions. The focus is on plant parts for 1st graders and life cycle for 2nd graders. They are also photographing their plant every few days and at the end of the observation (about a month) we'll create a photo sequence.
