Will Our Lima Beans Sprout?

We spent Friday afternoon with a room full of curious scientists who want to know: Will a lima bean sprout inside a bag? 

We began our experiment by filling out the Scientific Method. We know that plants need water, sunlight, and oxygen to grow. So does that mean we can grow a plant inside a bag with those 3 things? 

We can't wait to find out!

We put a wet napkin and 2 lima beans into each bag


All of our lima beans are ready to sprout!

Enter...If You Dare!!

Marshall Elementary is having a Fall door decorating contest! The 3rd graders pitched in to make our doors look extra spooky.
