Growing your own plant recap

After about 6 weeks after we planted the plants ( see growing your own plant post) they have grown heaps. We have been watering them every day and look fantastic. We have used the herbs and lettuce in salads. Here is a picture of our lettuce and herbs that we have grown over the past 6 weeks. See it really is that easy to grow your own plant. It helps the environment and is a fun activity. What do you think about growing your own plant? If you grow your own plant tell me about it and send me a photo!! I would love to see some home grown plants!!!

Solar Panels ( all about solar panels)

A few days ago some men came to my school and put on solar panels on our new library. Solar Panels are a great way to get electricity without making pollution. This is called renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy provided from sunlight, wind, rain etc.

How does a Solar Panel Work ?

A Solar Panel works when the sun goes on to the solar panels and the energy from the sun gets turned into electricity

Where do you find Solar Panels??
Solar panels can be on peoples houses, they can be on street lights and big buildings. Almost anything. They can even go on a car !!!!!
How much are Solar Panels?

For 6 Solar panels the price ranges from 2,000 around to 3,000 Australian dollars.

 My mum and Dad are going to put Solar Panels all over the roof when they build there new house!!!!! Hopefully soon!!
