Today's lesson in our home schooling science workbook directed us to plant one pot of rocks and one pot of beans to observe how they grow.
We ended up with six pots.
Pot 1: Beans with light, soil, water & air
Pot 2: Beans with soil, water, air but no light
Pot 3: Beans with light, soil, air but no water
Pot 4: Beans with light, air, water but no soil
Pot 5: Beans with light, air, water, soil & fertilizer
Pot 6: Rocks with light, soil, water & air
My five and seven year olds can now also explain the concepts: a control, a variable, and a hypothesis. Oops? We may have deviated slightly from the curriculum.
