J2 is studying Botany this year.\u00c2\u00a0 I admit, I chose this subject with hopes of a big year-end project – a container garden that he would help me create!\u00c2\u00a0 Sneaky homeschooling Momma! \ud83d\ude09 lol<\/p>\n

Today was the end of a 2-week experiment with bean seeds.\u00c2\u00a0 He put 2 or 3 bean seeds in a zip-lock bag with a wet papertowel – he created 3 of these bags.\u00c2\u00a0 One he taped to a sunny window, one he put in the refrigerator and one he put in a dark closet.\u00c2\u00a0 Then he predicted what would happen.\u00c2\u00a0 He guessed the ones in the refrigerator and closet would not grow. But that the one in the window would grow.\u00c2\u00a0 Every day he measured them and recorded the results on a chart.<\/p>\n

Here were the results:<\/p>\n

In the refrigerator – no growth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the closet – they sprouted, but no green leaves:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the window – healthy plants:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the window plant is ready to be repotted and the seeds from the refrigerator are in his window to see if they will grow! I love it when kids take initiative in their learning!<\/p>\n

And, here is our helper who wanted HER picture taken – just cause! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
