Science projects are always a hit around here. Actually any project that involves "getting involved" rather than writing or studying about it ranks #1. We are currently learning about One-celled organisms, lower and higher plants, and photosynthesis. We will be conversing about bacterium, fermentation, and spores for the next three weeks. This is the part of homeschooling we love.
(Turnips with their greens couldn't be found so we had to forego that veggie. Also, we did in fact plant a beet, not beer!)
This is inspiring!!! Children that have hands on experiences learn so much more....good for you for teaching your kiddo with science experiments like this one! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteAnything to get out of the mundane process of reading and writing. It really does make things more interesting.
DeleteWhat fun for all of you. (Forgive me here, but the mention of bacterium, fermentation and spores reminds me of my marathon cleaning of the frig last week. Eeeww.)
ReplyDeleteThank you so for the kind comment and visit to my blog. I do appreciate it very much.
Have a wonderful weekend..after all it's nearly here!
Ellen, I know what you mean! The fridge is definitely a good place to visit for possible science discussions. haha
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. My son's started uni this year and he still prefers his lab sessions than his lectures. I think the best way for kids to learn is for them to have hands on experience.
ReplyDeleteJo, I'm not ready to think of University! Oh my. But it is the preferred method of learing, especially with boys.
DeleteYou are the best! This lady at work grew a beautiful plant from doing that with her sweet potato
ReplyDeleteOur radish ended up getting really gross and moldy, but the beet fared the best and produced some really pretty leaves. Our sweet potato has yet to do anything but I have one on the counter, not part of the project, that has many shoots and leaves growing from it. We may just replace the two! :)
