Growing Beans!
About three weeks ago, we planted a bean seed in a bag! We were hoping atleast a few of them would grow into bean plants! There is no better way to learn about plant life cycles and photosynthesis than to grow a plant of your own!
We had a few beans actually sprout and begin to grow! Watching the plants grow is just as cool as watching these kids grow in their love for science! My favorite is watching the kids talk to the plants each day in hopes of giving it more carbon dioxide! Here are a few of the growing plants!
This has "bean" a great project!
