A Slight Deviation

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.
