What did they learn about in Science?

After we finished the Science unit on plants, I asked the kids to tell me what they learned. Some were specific answers and some were more general. This is what a few of them said:

"We learned about plants." Gabriel
"Plants need water." Nathan
"Plants need sun." Angelina
"Plants need soil." Hunter
"How plants grow." Deandrianna and Trey
"Pumpkins have pumpkin seeds." Giana
"Plants can be food." Lucenda
Overall they learned the basic parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaf, flower), what plants need to live (air, water, sun, soil), and that we can eat plants (fruits and vegis).
We also made potato paintings! These are hanging up in our room for now, but will be sent home eventually. Look for them and ask your child how s/he made it!
