1st Grade Gardeners

Today was an exciting day for us!  We started our first science experiment in first grade!  We are watching plants grow while we learn about what it is that plants need in order to grow.  We learned that plants need 5 things to grow:

• air
• space
• water
• light
• nutrients

As we watch our plants grow in the coming weeks, we are going to be observing what part of the plants soaks up the water and what part absorbs the sunlight.  We enjoy planting grass and alfalfa today.  Here are pictures from our afternoon of gardening!

Now the question remains...will they grow?!?!
