Tulips, Outside and Inside

We started our tulip project last week. Each first grader planted a tulip bulb, as a service project to beautify our school community.We are also participating in a nationwide project with our tulip planting. We will watch as other schools plant and record the progress of their bulbs as well. For more information about this project see http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/tulips/AboutSpring.html.

 We also have been learning about the parts of a bulb, and the structure and function of a bulb.We dissected some bulbs today, to get a clear picture...
Many thanks to Agway for a generous donation of bulbs.
