We began our successful life cycle experiment with grass. We had already tried with a bean. We started the unit by observing and dissecting the bean , sprouted it and tried to grow beanstalks in two failed experiments. We waited and decided to investigate why the bean experiment had failed to germinate and sprout. After unearthing the beans at our desks we learned why all but one bean germinated and sprouted. We were disappointed . So, I tried grass heads. To the delight of the students these did sprout and grow. We measured and recorded the growth in our journals. | We cut and watered. |

Pictures really tell the story this time.
The Question- Do taller children have bigger feet then smaller children? First we lined up according to height which also included both teachers. We sat down in size order, took off our shoes and shared what we had observed so far. Once all the shoes were completed each child placed their single shoe on the banner. Everyone stood behind their own shoe. The result surprised many! Several tall people including the teacher were taller than others BUT had smaller shoes! The children began completing their experiment worksheets for analysis the next time we meet for science. |
