Where does a Tree get its Mass?
In science we’re learning about glucose. We learned about how leaves absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide and how the tree absorbs the water. Then the tree makes it in to glucose which C6H12O6 ( 6 carbons, 12 hydrogen and 6 oxygen). Glucose is a kind of sugar that gives the tree mass. We watched a lot of videos to learn about it and Dan left a lot for us figure out. That was good and bad. It was good because it was more fun than us sitting there and someone telling us about it. It was hard because when we wrote something down and it was wrong we had to restart.
