2010-11+Sunflower+Exploration

First we looked closely at a dried sunflower and spent some time measuring ourselves against the very tall sunflower stalk. We removed the seeds with tweezers and looked closely at those. We read lots of books about sunflowers, fiction and non-fiction.

We looked at lots of images of sunflowers and made some sunflower art of our own.

We discussed what a seed needs to grow: sunlight, soil and water.

Then we planted our sunflower seeds. and they grew!!!
