Ruler Scavenger Hunt & Colorful Cabbage

The girls were introduced to the ruler today.  We reviewed how a ruler is 12 inches long and how not all rulers are made the same--emphasizing that the girls must always measure from the "0" mark (whether it is shown or implied by the end of the ruler).  The girls then went on a scavenger hunt around the room, measuring different items and finding objects of a certain length.

Where does water go in a plant?  That was the question posed to our Pre-First scientists today.   The girls were given cabbage leaves and got to choose from red, yellow, green or blue colored water to put in their vase.  They predicted what their cabbage leaves would look like in one day and sketched it out.  We will observe our leaves tomorrow and record what we see....what do you predict they will look like?
