Welcome to the Saturday Science Blog Hop & Link Up co-hosted by Little Bins for Little Hands, P is for Preschooler, Lemon Lime Adventures, Suzy Homeschooler, The Joys of Boys, The Usual Mayhem and yours truly!
I’m running a little late for today’s Saturday Science but I wanted to share with you all what we have done for science as part of our Before Five in a Row study of The Carrot Seed.
After we did our painting with carrots, I cut the tops of the carrots and removed the wilting leaves. Then I placed them in a plate with a little water and we were able to watch the leaves regrow! Pretty cool, huh? For more information check out How to Grow a Carrot Top by Laughing Kids Learn.
We also planted carrot seeds in a small soda bottle. Hopefully when they grow we will be able to observe the roots, like with this root viewer.
And now it’s time for the Saturday Science Blog Hop & Link Up!

I’ve wanted to try that carrot tops activity too! We’ve done it with celery, but never carrots.
Fantastic science activity! We had such fun doing this. Thank you for the link back.
