We are going to be learning all about plants.  Most plants grow from seeds.

Our inquiry question is:  What is in a seed?

Our experiment:

• Dampen a paper towel with water and fold it so that it fits inside a plastic zip-lock bag.
• Put a few beans inside the bag on the wet paper towel.
• Tape the bag to a window that gets enough sunlight.
• If you notice the paper towel drying out, open the bag and spray the towel with water.
• Watch what happens to the seeds!

 

Is a seed living or non-living?

Does it eat?  Does it breathe?  Does it grow? Then it’s alive.
