Thinking with the Kindergarten students across the hall on Tuesday

Today we decided to visit Mrs. Steckly's Kindergarten classroom to compare the growth of our bean plants to theirs.  It was very inspiring to learn together with these young minds.  Here are some photos: 

 Here are their bean plants

 Here are ours.  Can you guess which ones have been growing longer? Notice the different pots used.  How might this make a difference for plant growth? 

We made many inferences about difference in leaf size and the specific needs of plants when we looked at the roots of the Kinder bean plants.  Can you inference what we discovered?

Some student's used their background knowledge to inference how long the Kinder beans had been growing compared to ours. 

Here are some of our findings:





What is happening to the roots?  Why?  



The answer is photosynthesis.  What is the question? 

Why do plants have leaves?  What makes plants green?
