Our changing banana experiment is nearing the end. The students have noticed the decaying banana is getting flat as liquid has been seeping out. Also noticeable is the sticky liquid on the fingers after handling the banana.
Students have been amazed as we near the end. We started with a beautiful, yummy, firm, yellow banana. What remains is far from it. Students have taken turns comparing what is left to what we started with. We also have been taking notice as the changes that are occurring seem to be similar to the actual peel and the banana itself inside. Their curiosity continues to grow at the thought of what could happen next? What will it look like tomorrow? What will be the end of our banana? Asking these open-ended questions and providing this time of reflection and exploration is so important when young children are investigating in science.
