Need: Clear
Plastic Cup, Black construction Paper, Paper Towels, Bean seeds
Use a clear plastic cup that is 6-12 inches
tall. Cut black construction paper so that it fits inside, up against the
cup walls. Fill the center with wadded up paper towels. "Plant"
bean seeds between the cup walls and construction paper, about 1/2 - 2/3
down. Water the paper towels and keep MOIST. Bean seeds will grow and you
can view root growth, what happens to seeds, etc. They can grow quite
large and will be fine as long as you keep paper towels moist.

Enjoy a walk around your school to discover all the wonderful changes that
Spring brings. Upon your return to your classroom, ask the children
to recall the things they noticed on their Spring walk. For special
children who have difficulty verbalizing, have pictures of things you plan
to call attention to on your walk so that all the children can
participate. After revisiting your discovery walk through pictures,
enjoy this song:
Hello Spring Time.
Sung to: "Good Night Ladies"
Hello spring time
Hello spring time
Hello spring time
We're glad spring time is here.
Hello flowers
Hello flowers
Hello flowers
We're glad spring time is here!
Hello green grass... We're glad spring time is here.
Hello birds... We're glad spring time is here.
(To finish song, repeat first verse after you have said hello to all the
spring things the children can think of.)
