Planting Fava Beans

 For our next science experiment, we planted fava beans. 

 I called 4 students out at a time. 

 There were 4 cards:  'dirt', 'dig hole', 'plant seed', and 'water.'  The groups were to each choose a card which defined their part in the planting.

 The person who chose 'dirt', put the pot in the bag of potting soil and filled it to within an inch of the top.

 The person to 'dig hole', used their finger to dig a hole 1 1/2" deep.  To check, they then used a ruler to measure and make sure it was 1 1/2" deep. 

 Next, the seed was planted and the whole covered up. 

The person with 'water', was to fill a graduated cylinder with 60 ml of water to water the plant.  Then that person also carried the plant into the classroom and set it in the window.

Our seeds were planted...and now we're ready for the next part of the experiment!
