Grow, Grow, Grow Your Beans

A discussion about chocolate chip cookies started today's lesson. Just as you need certain ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies, plant growth requires certain ingredients. They are: water, light, air and nutrients.

The young gardeners designed their own experiments varying one of these ingredients, and made predictions about what would happen. Then they planted beans in various nutrients, or with different amounts of water or light. They'll check their beans in a couple of weeks to see if their predictions were accurate.

The gardens are looking good! Baylee and Josie are weeding Baylee's garden while Lenna looks on.
