Mad Scientists

This week was full of experiments in our classroom. We are busy studying about plants, so my mini botanists had some experiments to set up and observe. After studying about phloem and xylem, we watched colored water travel through carnations and celery.



We are growing lima bean plants by the window to observe root systems and in honor of Where the Wild Things Are (the children's classic that we just did a book study on).



Being Floridians, we don't get to see many leaves change into those beautiful colors of red and yellow during the fall months. In order to see why this happens we pulled chlorophyll out of some spinach leaves yesterday.
