Bean Planting
Today, Sept. 20, 2007, we planted bean seeds. We put some soil in a cup,
and then we put in a bean seed. Next, we put some water on top of the soil,
and it went down toward the bean seed. At last, we put the cup with the bean
seed inside, in a sunny place.

24, 2007 - Day 5
Today, Sept 24, 2007, our bean plants sprouted. The soil was lifted up in
some cups by the bean plant. The sprouts looked white and light green. They
took about three days to sprout. It happened in a dry, dark room.
Tuesday September 25, 2006 - Day 6
The beans are still bent over, but they are taller. The plants are looking
greener, today.
Thursday, September 27, 2007 - Day 8
Look! Some plants have folded leaves. Some leaves are beginning to open.
The stems are straight.
Tuesday, October 2, 2007 - Day 13
Look at our bean plants. They have gotten very tall and they
have something pointy at the top of their stems. It does not look like leaves.
We are still watching 5 cups.
Friday, October 26, 2007 - Day 37
Look at the bean plants on October 26, 2007. Some leaves are
still green, but some have turned yellow. The leaves have turned brownish and
are crumpled up. Let's look on Monday.
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - Day 41
Look at the bean plants. Most have turned yellow and brown. The stems
shrunk. They are not like straws anymore. For three days they had no water. We
put water on all of them. Two plants stayed green, and now, one plant has one
bud. We will water them and they have sun. Will the bud blossom?
Look at our bud!
Thursday, Yesvember 8, 2007 - Day 50
(Note: Students in Mrs, Shani's class are studying the
words yes & no, which explains the change in the
month named above)
The bud is shrinking and it looks dry. It looks a little yellow. We can see
two more very tiny buds.
