What else changes?

After our chicks sadly left us at the end of week 2, we continued to look at what other things change. KLS 1 explored how colours change. In the photos below we see how students became artists and experimented with paint to discover what happens when two colours are mixed together. They found out that two primary colours, such as blue and red, make a new colour - purple. What other examples do you know?

KLS 2, on the other hand, took on the role of gardeners. In small groups they planted a bean in a clear cup, and added cotton wool and water. Unlike when we plant seeds in the garden, planting them in a clear cup has enabled us to observe the seed as it changes and grows.

Some of our observations and questions so far have included:

"The bean changed colour from brown to green."

"There is a white string growing out of our bean." 

"Is it a sprout or a root?" 

"The white string has grown longer and now another one has started to grow as well."

"Is our bean going to grow as tall as the beanstalk in 'Jack and the Beanstalk'?"
