Science with Meredith

Skyler's mom, Meredith, came in today to set up a science experiment with the class.  She talked to us about all the foods in our refrigerators and kitchens that we could plant to grow more.  She brought in some scallions and each child put one in either a bucket with just water or a bucket with "compost tea."  We know a lot about compost, since we have been active members of the Green Team, and Meredith reminded us of some key points (she even set up a small Baggie of "starter compost").  Based on all we know, we made predictions as to which scallions will sprout first, the ones in water or the ones in the compost mixture.  I will let your child tell you about her/his hypothesis.
