Good morning from #CMSMatHome!
Today, we’ll set up a station for germination exploration. To get this going, you’ll need a paper towel, ziploc bag, a few beans, and a stapler.
Place a damp, folded paper towel into your bag, then insert 5 staples about halfway up the bag, to keep the beans in the right place, so that there is room for the roots to grow. Place a few beans in the bag.
Tape the bag to a wall or window, and add water as needed, to keep the paper towel damp. Observe your bean!
Loose parts play is an open-ended approach to play that involves providing children with a variety of materials of objects that can be moved, manipulated, and combined in a different way. The open-ended nature of loose parts play stimulates children’s creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills as they imagine, design, and build using the materials
