A couple weeks ago I posted one of my favorite science experiments while I taught 5th grade. You can see how to set up your bean plant experiment for kids by clicking here. Here’s an update after 11 days of plant growth. Please post a comment and let me know how this science experiment worked for your students.
You can barely see the roots growing out of the beans.
See the roots, stems and leaves.
Use your nature journal to track the growth of your bean plant. Draw a picture of the bean each day. Be sure to label the date.
If you like this science experiment, please pin it with the pin button below the photo.
For more nature study type activities, grab the entire Charlotte Mason Inspired Bundle (expires on May 22, 2019) or Build Your Own Bundle with all the nature studies resources. Click here or the image to get started and save up to 90% on your homeschool curriculum for next year. My personal favorite nature studies are Night Sky and Butterflies.

How often do you put water in the bags? Is it every day? Or do you just observe what happens from the first day? Thanks!
When the paper towel starts to dry out, the kids pour enough water to wet the towel. Sometimes there’s a bit in the bottom that the towel can soak up (1/4-1/2″). If you have more than 1/2″ water in the bottom of the baggie, you have too much water. Hope that helps.
This is really cool – what a fun idea!
Glad you like it. Hope your kids enjoy it too
