Celery Experiment

As Megan works through some Science Paces before we head  back to Heart of Dakota, she has been learning about water.  She has learned the characteristics of water, the minerals and germs that can be found in water, and why plants need water.

This is a nice lesson.  Soon Megan will study why animals need water, how water is used in the human body for things such as digestion and cleanliness, and why Jesus leads us to lie down by still waters. 

She did an experiment with celery.  She placed a celery stalk into water with dye to see how the water is drawn into the celery stick.  Plants do the same thing when they draw water from the ground. 

Megan loves experiments!  As much as I would rather give her a book to read only, Megan also loves hands-on stuff.  She loves learning by doing as much as she loves reading. 

I have been out of balance lately in this area.  But I’m getting things worked out.
