1. There were four bud scale scars, which would make the age of our twig four years old. 2. No, our twig’s growth length was not the same each year 3. The first and second year was similar but there was a big gap in the third year. 4. On our twig there was two leaf scars at the nods. 5. The leaf arrangement was opposite. 6. Our twig had two nods in the first season, three in the second, seven in the third and two in the fourth. 7. No, the same number of nods is not produced each growing season. 8. No, the leaf scars have small differences. 9. The tiny scattered dots all over the twig would be the lenticels. 10. The lenticels serve as gas exchange on the plants. 11. The largest scales are the ones closest to the buds. 12. The largest scales are located there because they are the oldest ones. 13. The arrangement of the scales would be wrapped around it like a cocoon. 14. Yes, the relationship would be wherever there is a bud there is a leaf scar below it.



=// Data Analysis //=

The reason this data was made into a graph of data was to show how many McDonalds are located in each country.

United States has the most McDonalds in the world. Italy has the least McDonalds in the world.

United States has 12,800 McDonalds more than all the other countries. Italy has 3,000 McDonalds, which is the least in the world.

Is McDonalds the biggest fast food chain in the USA?

Jamie and Emily's Findings:


= Alissa and Rebecca's Findings =





= Characteristics of Life =

The yeast and the molasses as a mixture form an acid. The gas from the mixture makes the Bromothymol blue turn green.

The yeast and water mixture in bottle A forms a base. Which keeps the bromothymol blue as blue.

The Molasses and water mixture in bottle B forms a base. Which also keeps the bromothymol blue as blue.

= Monocot and Dicot Leaves =

= =

Herbaceous plants: Plants that have leaves and stems that die down at the end of the growing season Woody plants: Plants that use wood as a structural tissue 

Jamie's Trees: Red Oak is a Dicot White Pine is a Dicot Alissa's Trees: Norway Maple is a Dicot Pin Oak is a Dicot Rebecca's Trees: Scots Pine is neither because they have pine needles. Eastern Hemlock is neither because they have pine needles. How we use them: we use most of the trees like the oaks for wood to make things out of such as houses. Other trees such as the maple produce a syrup we eat. Other plants like ginger, mint, and, squashes we are able to grow and eat. Also there are specific herbs that are used in medicines.
