A group of children came in one morning and started making flowers out of the pipe cleaners. Since then, they have been so interested in learning about flowers and plants. Our garden is contributing so much to this project since the children started gardening outside and seeing their plants grow!
The subject of how flowers grow and what they need to grow is in many of our conversations.
We are using real flowers and do an experiment to help the children learn how water travels through the parts of a flower and plants. At the end of our experiment, we are seeing the white flowers change to a different colors!
We learned how to cut our stem at a certain angle so that it would drink the water really good and our flowers turn a dark color!
Nohea insisted on cutting her stem really short :-)
When the flowers were in the water, we talked about what we thought was going to happen to the white flowers. We all created a picture of what our color changing flower would turn out to look like!
We were very excited to come in the next morning and see our first day result!!!
This experiment has helped the children learn about the system of the plant in a more dynamic way. We are now understanding about plants and their functions...
We are focusing on the seed, root, stem, leaves, veins and flower!
