Emma and Jake were working on their science fair project. Emma said, “We need to make sure its ready by Friday.” Jake replied, “It’s going to be awesome! But we need to finish our experiment first.”

 

They wrote on their poster:

●       “We tested to different types of soil.”

●       “We found that one soil was better than the others.”
