preschool science objective: learn simple gardening and food appreciation
I can't think of a simpler way than sprouting beans to teach young kids about the "growing" process of living things
especially the plant and vegetations.
The process is easy and mess free , and they can see the results within days .
Needs: Any types of lentils/beans with shell ( red/green/yellow etc)
steps:
1) soak a handfull of cotton in a container
2) spread a teaspoon of lentils on the wet cotton.
3) wait for about 2 days, and you can start to see the sprouts!
After the basic introduction above, if you and your kid wants to grow sprouts for dinner,
the video below provides a very good guide.
