School week #2 Science - Lima Bean

We had a great time with Science this week.  We did the Lima bean experiment on Monday and the girls were so excited to be able to use the magnifying glasses.  We started out by "looking inside a seed" in our Usborne First book of Nature.  Then the girls spent some time observing their beans then made some drawings of what they saw in their journal.  They helped me wet a paper towel and wrap it around their bean.  We made predictions about what we thought would happen to the bean and then I taped it onto the window.  It has not been really sunny here this week but i did peak inside today during nap and the shoot is starting to appear.  So I think that we will record another entry in our journal either tonight or tomorrow.  I am looking forward to many more fun science adventures.  This next week we head to the ocean to MeMe and Pawpaw's where the fish and shells are. Lots of fun science is in store.
