Bean Experiment Tests

We looked at the outside and discovered the inside.  We found all six parts of a bean.  We had a lot of fun.  I hope you have fun with your experiments too!  I liked doing it, so I think you will too!

Raisin Experiment

We put raisins in water and let them sit overnight.  And the raisins turned from tiny, small and sticky to seed size and were hard and not sticky.  They were bigger than they were before.  It happened from osmosis.  I liked this experiment.  I hope you do too!  I am Joshua.    2009.8.20 072 2009.8.20 001

Joshua’s $.30 Painting Project

It took me a while and I was inspired by my littlest brother, who was only two.  I liked his ship design and mixed colors too!  But I didn’t mix them in the paint cans, I mixed them on my ship.  It was a lot of fun!  I hope whenever you paint, you’ll have a lot of fun too!
