Fava Beans

In science, we are currently studying food webs. We started with plants and photosynthesis... then on to food chains before the food webs.

Along with photosynthesis, we planted fava beans. (Click on the words 'fava beans' and it will take you to a site that tells about them.) We observed and recorded what we saw... look at how they grew!
Marseya loved looking at her plant.
Parker was recording information on his plants growth.
Wesley and Spegi
Brittany's plant is just about 1 foot tall!
Hey Mrs. Johnston, look how much our plants have grown!
Sarah is hiding behind her plant.
Orion is about finished recording his data.
Austin is a proud owner of a fava bean plant.
"Hey, look here at my plant," said Kacey.

Max diligently measured.Kacey and Orion were doing a comparison.
Parker doesn't look too thrilled.
Katie was impressed with her plant's roots. They were coming out the bottom, but not through the hole in the pot. They pushed their way out through the wall of the pot.
Orion was showing me that his roots had done the same thing.
Ahhh, look at my farmers! Room 8 is just the best!
