Growing Beanstalks

I just thought everyone in blogger land would want to see the fruits of our most recent science experiment. Here it is in Brad's own words:

Or if you prefer a legible copy:

"Last week we planted beans in a jar. If you want to do this expirament you will need:

* a jar

* beans 4-8

* a knife

* a roll of paper towels.

1. Use the knife to cut off a piece of the paper towel like this: (arrow to back, where you can find the diagram)

3. Put the wet smaller piece of paper towel in the jar. (an arrow here, showing the mixed up numbers)

2. Wet the smaller peice of paper towel

4. Put your beans in the jar to, like this: (diagram)

This expirement is so much fun!

The beans, after a few days, will began to grow. The sprouts go up and the roots go down.

As I'm not typically very good at science, you must share my sense of accomplishment at making it fun for my kids, at least this week.

How much more fun could our lives be?
