1. The Learning Journey Group: The Africa Oil Palm By: Sean Seng, Lai Wei Xin, Genessa Tan, Thong Isabelle Class:5C

2. The Problem  Some pupils went to Little India for a learning Journey.  They were taking some photograph of some building and they saw a plant growing from a crack in the wall.  Some think that the bird carried the seed there, some think that the seed flew there, some think that someone climb up the wall and planted the seed there.

3. Learning Journey !!! The School brought us to the Singapore Botanic Gardens to find out the answer. We were given a paper with 8 Stations to complete at the Singapore Botanic Garden.

4.  We departed school at 8am.  We arrived at about 9am.  We went to the Visitor Centre to look for a plant named Dillenia Philippinensis.  The plant dispers by having the birds eat the seed and the fruit and it will be passed off as bird droppings.  The characteristics of the fruit which aid in its dispersal is that the seed attracts the bird to eat it and it also floats on water.

5. Station 2  The next station’s title is Along The Heliconia Walk.  We must find a plant named Heliconia.  The method of the reproduction for this plant is that it reproduce by spores.  There are other plant that are like this plant example as Ginger plant and fern.

6.  The next station is called Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage.  We had to compose poem using the word LILY.  L  Listening IIsIIs  L  Learning  Y  Yeah!!

8. Station 5  The next station is The Orchid Plaza.  The name of the Singapore’s National flower is Vanda Miss Joaquim.  The ways that the orchid plant reproduce is by seed and stem-cutting.

9.  The next station is the Ginger Garden.  The spores are light so it can be dispersed by wind.  The Banana plant reproduce by suckers and shoot.

10.  The next station is the Passing of Knowledge.  The Ginger plant reproduce from sexual reproduction by seed.  They start rooting once they touch the ground. They come in different colours and shapes.  The birds and bees help to pollinate the ginger plant.  We want to find out whether the plants disper other than wind

11.  We learned the plants can dispers in many ways,example, by seed, wind, stem-cutting, underground stem,suckers and shoot.  After all this learning journey and research,we found out the answer, the answer to the problem is that the seed flew there.

13. Question 1  What is the name of the plant we were looking for at the visitor centre?  Answer: Dillenia Philippinensis

14. Question 2  What are spores dispersed by?  Answer: By Wind

15. Question 3  What are the two animal that help to pollinate the Ginger plant?  Answer: Birds and Bees

16. Question 4  Where did we go at station one?  Answer: Visitor Centre

17. Question 5  What is the title of station 7?  Answer: Passing of Knowledge
