The children love discovering through science. One of our current investigations has been with cotton flowers. Brought from Carolina, the students have been fascinated with this plant. The first thing we did was observe the differences and similarities with the cotton flower and other plants. The students noticed the difference in touch with the cotton and other plants we have worked with. We found that the cotton flower also had cotton seeds within it. Students took turns removing these seeds and further investigating both the seed and flower.
Next, students plant the cotton seeds into soil. We will water and care for the cotton seeds, observing and recording the changes that occur. We hope to see cotton flowers sprout soon and will be sure to follow up on our cotton flower project. Check them out for yourself the next time you are visiting HO4K.
