Today is a professional day so no families attending. I thought I would share one of the science activities we are doing.
Spuds in Tubs is a fun experiment to grow potatoes indoors. It teaches children that food comes from the soil not the grocery store.
We planted the potato seeds in a clear container so we could check on the roots. When not peeking we wrap the tub in black paper.
Soon we'll be putting the tub outside during the day.We have an ongoing survey on what are the favourite ways we like to eat potatoes.
We hope to harvest the potatoes by mid June before school is finished so we can cook some of the favourite dishes.
Those plants look terrific! Looking forward to hearing all about the delicious recipes you can make with potatoes that you grew yourself with our program!
ReplyDeleteLove this! We are hooked on potatoes too! I am adding this to our post. Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment on our potato post - you made my afternoon!
ReplyDeletePlease could you let me know more information about the non-fiction potato book in your photo? I'm having trouble tracking down some for the spuds in tubs project I just started in our class for the 1st time this year. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the Potato book, it was from our school library.
