Science - Starting our unit on plants

This week we started our unit about plants.  We have starting this science unit by talking about seeds and examining lots of different types of seeds.  To explore how plants grow we started by placing lima bean seeds in plastic baggies to see how their seed coat will split and begin to sprout!  Over the next few weeks we will talk about what plants need to grow, the life cycle of a plant, and how seeds spread.  We will also be performing a few different types of experiments, I hope to post pictures of each of these as they occur.  Everyone is very excited about this unit, and we are looking forward to planting seeds and seeing how they grow!
