Today the first graders conducted their first experiment of the year. After reading a non-fictional book about plants, students replicated one of the experiments from the book. This experiment had the students look at what is inside of a seed. They learned about the parts of the seed from their reading and completed a labeling diagram in their science notebook. Seeds were soaked over night to help soften the seed coat. After gently peeling off the seed coat, they were able to break the seed in half. With the help of a magnifying glass, they look carefully to find….a little plant inside the seed.
