Over the last month, Newt has been experimenting with radish seeds.
No, that is not like smoking banana peels.
She has been using Tops Learning Systems radish seed science booklet.
It was a wonderful study and I would highly recommend it. We both learned new things: geotropism, anyone?
And the things Newt learned definitely seemed to stick. We were doing review questions today and she amazed me with her grasp of the material.
Except… there was this one question going back to an experiment sprouting seeds both in dark and light conditions. At the end of a week, the seedlings in the dark were much taller than the seedlings in the light.
So the review question was:
An empty box has been laying in a grassy field for several weeks, open side down. If you lift it up and peek underneath, predict what you might see.
Newt hardly waited for me to answer when she shouted out “Rats!”
Remind me not to look under any boxes I see lying around.
If you want to read a great a review of this product, Heather from OMSH posted one here.
