Planting Lima Beans & Space Basil

Today we planted seeds two different types of ways. We planted them in soil and we also planted them in a baggie without soil - with a paper towel.The seeds were lima beans. The girls put their bags on the window and the boys put theirs on the cabinet. We are going to compare the two locations and growth rate. Everybody in the class predicted that the lima beans in the bag will NOT grow without soil. We also planted cinnamon basil - earth based and even seeds that had went into space!! We are going to compare and contrast the differences. Below is some of the picture we took today:

Parts of a Plant

We had a wonderful time creating our candy flowers. We studied parts of a plant and decided we needed to make our learning hands-on. We had a great time doing just that and an even better time enjoying the finished product. :)
