Science - Week 8

We are currently working through Considering God's Creation for our Science curriculum. I love the simplicity and the easy, not too much prep lessons. This week, we worked through the Plants lesson.

We started our lesson with the vocabulary. J wrote the definitions under the vocab flaps that I created for the lesson.

An easy experiment was to place a piece of celery into colored water to see what it would do. We left it in the water overnight and the results were great. The blue ran right up the stalk (cohesion at work).

I also found a mini grass growing kit at Target and thought it would be perfect for this lesson. Here, J and Kaleb are working together to plant the grass seed. They hope it will grow soon so they can give it a haircut. We were planning another experiment (link below) with a leaf but we didn't get to it in time. But we will do it next week. Have a great weekend.
