Planting plants

Today we planted our green beans.  We have been talking about what living things need to live.  We are hoping these seeds germinate and the kids can see the very beginning stages of the plant life cycle!  

Questions to ask your child:  

• Do all living things need the same thing?  
• What is a living thing?
• Why do the roots of a plant grow down?
• Why does the shoot grow up?
• Where do plants get their food?
