After four days of measuring the length and watering the lollipops and the plants the children noticed a CHANGE.
The lollipops are the same length, so they didn’t grow yet, but the beans changed. The bean was 1.5cm when we planted it and right now it reached 2cm in length and a root is coming out.
The children were excited to observe and write down their observations. Then, two days later, the bean grew even more.
It went from 2cm to 6cm and now has more roots.
How did this happen? We just watered it every day!
What a great way of exploring this inquiry!
As a second assessment, the children received a brainstorm chart where they had some plants in the middle and arrows pointing out. They drew all their ideas about how to take care of a plant (RESPONSIBILITY)
Hi Anamaria
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful process the children are developing. What I like most is that you took their ideas seriously (lollipop) and then they had a chance to move through their inquiry in a way that respected and legitimized their thinking. This is the root of co-inspiration.
