Living Things

We started our unit on living and non-living things and changes over time a few weeks ago. You saw the children exploring and describing their findings in our class garden in Seesaw.
Today, we began our experiment on seed growth.
We started our lesson by reading a non-fiction book on plants and seeds. We discussed how seeds travel, grow, and how plans protect themselves.
We also reviewed what seeds need in order to grow.
From here we created a hypothesis for each of our seed cups.
One cup had no water, one no light, one we built buildings on top of, and one we gave space, water, air, light.
The children shared their predictions through creating a class journal. Here we will record our observations over the next few weeks.
The children are also growing their own bean seeds in a green house. They will record the growth, write descriptively, and use standard units or measurement to measure the plant growth. The children will see LIVE changes over time.
If anyone would like to donate 20 clear plastic drinking cups I would really appreciate it!  Just add a comment here if you are willing to help us or send me an E-mail. I need them in about 5 days.
