Sprouting Peat Pods
/A failed experiment led to learning opportunity for other children.
As we prepared for the planting station at FPEA, one of my learners had an idea,
"Let's try to sprout our lima beans on a peat pod!"
A combination of the results of both experiments!
It worked!
Ten days later, our sprout was ready to plant!
Meanwhile, back at FPEA, parents shopped, children planted!
I wonder how many plants sprouted?
If your child planted in our planting station, you may enjoy these book suggestions.
