Elongation Day!

 

 
Monday, September 30 - 2nd Grade: Yeah! The corn is ready to roll! Today we were amazed at the root systems and leaves that were developing on the corn seeds. We rolled them in paper towels and will keep them nice and moist so the roots continue to grow and the leaves reach high into the sky. The kids are amazed at how much they are growing without any soil. :) They have no idea the exciting things to come!
 
You might ask about the cucumber seeds? Well, they haven't changed much, so we discussed how that is how science goes. We don't always know why something does or does not do as expected, but we made some predictions: maybe it was too wet, too cool or maybe it was just simply some "bad seeds."
