Green Thumb Gardeners

We had a wonderful morning with your little botanists! We learned about capillary action and took part in two experiments. We learned about botany, the science of plants, and create a terrarium to take home. One of our experiments was exploring capillary action. We placed a white carnation in colored water and were able to create a visual representation on how plants "suck up" water.

We also learned a song to help us identify the basic parts of a flowering plant:

(sung to the tune of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes)
Flower, stem, leaves and roots

Plants need sunlight and water to make them grow
