Yesterday at our first circle we read How a Seed Grows. We talked about how a seed is a little plant that has not started to grow and the roots hold a plant in the soil. They soak up water and minerals from the soil. The seeds roots are like straws.
Then we all took part in a bean experiment. We soaked a paper towel with water, placed lima beans on the towel rolled up the beans and placed them in a plastic bag, sprayed them a few more times with the spray bottle, zipped them up and taped them on the window. Our plan is to water the beans everyday (moisten the paper towel). We will observe how the roots grow (Which way do they grow? Do they all grow in the same direction? Did they grow fast or slow?). Stay tuned for a update on the roots of a lima bean!
