Today we started to explore water in our Science lessons using some ‘Magic Jungle Beans’. We counted 8 tiny beans into a bowl of of cold water and took turns mixing them. In the cold water the beans did not grow…. so we moved them into warm water and ‘POP’ the first magic jungle bean cracked open and a hippo-shaped sponge grew by absorbing the water, right before our eyes! It was so much fun watching the beans ‘grow’. After they all the beans had opened, we counted and named the animals that had grown: 2 hippos, 2 monkeys, 2 crocodiles and 2 elephants! Tomorrow we will be exploring sinking and floating!
