Today we planted lima bean seeds in soil and in sand. We have several different opinions about which beans will turn out better. We also got to try raw peanuts; they were disgusting (most of us thought). We discovered that peanuts are best eaten after being cooked. Cooked peanuts, however, are no longer living, and can't be grown. We are going to try to grow a peanut plant, complete with peanuts, so we got raw peanuts.
In science we watched a Magic School Bus video about how some living things are connected. We learned that every living thing on earth is powered by the sun; even us! We don't get our power right from the sun; we eat beef, which gets its energy from grass, which in turn gets its energy from the sun.
In math, we began studying algebra by exploring function machines; we'll be doing that all week! We are very close to passing our addition timed test goal; only 1.5 percent to go!
