Can you tell the difference?

We have been learning so much about plants!  Today we took a walk around the playground and took pictures of some types of trees.  Take a look at the pictures and tell someone which kind of tree it is.  Deciduous, Evergreen, or Conifer....and tell them WHY it is that type of tree.  Go!! :)

Add your wonderful learning under the pics with a comment!:)

Behold the Lima Bean!!

Look at the incredible changes in our lima beans!  

Challenge question:  

What is the outer covering of the seed called?  What does it do?

Sprouts alive!

Our Zinnia seeds are starting to sprout!

Lima beans in a bag!! :)

Plant PBL!

We are off to a great start with our driving questions and LOTS of reading, research, and experiments to answer our questions!  

 We planted a lima bean in each type of soil to see which one is the best for growing.

 Grass seed and potato eye!!  What will it look like??? Hmmmmmm.....

Have you ever heard of people talking to plants to help them grow bigger and better?  Well we are putting this idea to the test!  One plant will hear no words from us and the other will hear kind words and we will see if it has an effect!

 We planted bulbs in the blue container and each student planted 2 Zinnia seeds in their cup.  We can't wait to see them sprout!!

Can a seed grow without soil?  We will keep you updated!
