Roots

Today we continued our study of plants while we discussed how plants' roots are the same and different.  First we took the girls outside and had the girls pull up grassroots.  Then the girls were broken into 3 groups and were given a beet, a carrot, and scallions in addition to the grassroots. They discussed what they observed about these 4 roots.  We then sliced the beet and carrot in half and the girls recorded the similarities and differences between the two.  We will continue this experiment tomorrow.
