Science Fair
By Arizona ladybug

Clip to ScrapBook   
My class did one that was very successful. We sprouted Lima beans in different materials and different light. We used sand, small rock like for aquariums, plain dirt from outside, potting soil, gel, rocky sand, sawdust,
wet paper towels, wet cotton balls, big pebbles.
We wanted to see what materials how much light were the best for sprouting seeds. You can use pumpkin, sunflower, or another kind of bean for sprouting.
Each material was done by two children. One child place his where the bean received light and the other child placed his at the back of the room where it received less light. Each
set of partners kept a day by day journal of growth and changes in their bean. I also took digital pictures of the beans as they progressed in their sprouting. The students remained interested and kept their journal entries current. We had a very nice display for our Science Fair.
