The document summarizes a class of students learning about what scientists do and how they can think like scientists through observing plant growth. Several students share what they observed about seeds and plants growing, such as monggo seeds sprouting and popcorn plants reaching five inches tall. One student describes making observations on a nature walk, such as noticing the purpose of a hole in a leaf. The document aims to teach the students basic scientific observation and investigation skills.

Thinking Like A ScientistThe Pirates are enjoying our new unit on Growth. We have been learning interesting things this week that we would like to share with you.
What Is A Scientist?A person that makes something that makes the Earth better. Someone that does Science and is an expert at it. He makes cool things like experiments about crystals and water.
What Is A Scientist?A person that investigates stuff that look weird. He sees what it is like putting it in a machine. He also does research on the computer.A scientist is someone that is smart. He know all about something like plants, dinosaurs, and bones in our body.
What Makes Me A Scientist?I talk about how my monggo seeds are growing. I see inside the seed is a white thing that is coming up. It looks like an oval with a stem coming out.
What Makes Me A Scientist?I grow plants like my popcorn seeds and watermelon seeds in my home. I can tell you that my popcorn seed has grown five inches and the roots have grown longer. I also see that the stem has grown and there are two green leaves.
What Makes Me A Scientist?I see things that are growing around the school. I pick some dead leaves from the floor and I put it in my Pirate Scientist book. My papaya plant is growing a little. I can see green things coming out of the soil. I think there are roots and stems coming out of my pot.
What Makes Me A Scientist?In the nature walk, I was observing:I saw a cool leaf, it was thin. I was thinking Why is it thin? I saw an o-shaped leaf with a little hole. I was trying to find out, What does the hole mean? I also saw two different kinds of grass. One was fake and the other was real. The real grass felt muddy and the fake grass felt plastic.
