Plants

This week we started our big Plant Unit. We started off the week talking about living vs. non-living things, and then moved into the parts of plants, and the function that each part has.

We did a celery experiment to show how stems carry water and nutrients around the plant. We colored the water with food coloring to see how it traveled around in the celery stalk. The kids were amazed to see color going up the celery and even in the leaves at the top!

We even used plants in our Math by making some math flowers using our teen numbers!

We got to dig in to some of our favorite fruits to see how many seeds that and what they looked like. We found out that oranges don't always have seeds in them! :( But we still had fun looking!
