Aidan's latest science experiment, growing beans, was a success. He learned all about how a simple bean seed can sprout and grow into a bean stalk. He was particularly amazed at how the bean needed moisture and light, but no soil, to grow. All the bean's food is stored right inside the bean. Imagine that...no dirt needed!He was even more perplexed when I told him that even HE did not need dirt to grow. Nope, not needed, but life sure is a lot more fun for an eight year old boy when dirt is somehow involved in his adventures.
Here are his science notebook drawings, showing his experiment...
