Bean Biologists at Work in 2nd Grade

For the past few weeks we have been investigating The Life Cycle of a Bean Plant. Our first investigation was observing several different types of beans and seeds. The students were allowed to use hand lens to observe what they thought were the same or what they noticed was different about all the seeds. Our next investigation was soaking the beans overnight and exploring the inside of the bean. So far we have learned that the life cycle of a seed begins when it sprouts or germinates. We also learned that the bean has a seed coat on the outside which protects the tiny plant that’s inside of the seed. Stay tuned there is a lot more learning to do! Enjoy the slideshow!
