Parkersburg Des Moines Tornado

   

Back in May 25th of 2008 a small town in Iowa was hit with a natural disaster. Parkersburg, near Des Moines IA,  was nearly wiped off the map. Many people feared for their lives that day.

The tornado that hit Parkersburg that day, was an EF5. An EF5 is one of the strongest tornadoes that can happen. A tornado this strong has winds over 200 mph. This tornado destroyed many homes, business buildings and the school gym. Seven people lost their lives that day from the EF5 tornado and 70 more were injured. Those who survived were evacuated while rescue and cleanup crews tried to help.

Since that day, the people of Parkersburg have helped each other out. They have been able to fix the school gym and rebuild their homes and businesses.  This is a day they will never forget.

conclusion on plant

I think my experiment was a success.

i think it was a success because my plant didn't die. I had 40 seeds and my partner has 127 seeds. Our plants grew really good. Once the plants were dead    
the class pulled their own plants off the water and put it on a dry tub. they pulled their plants off because, so the plants could dry out and we can pull the seeds out.

34 day of plants

   today i counted the seeds and i have 10 seeds. i took the plant off the water so it can die and i can open the seed holders and see how many  seeds are in them.
