Science Seed Party!

During our seed study, a lot of students asked if we could eat the seeds we were working with.  Our seed mosaics were made from a lot of beans and seeds that you see in the grocery store.  We decided it would be fun to try eating some of those seeds.  So, today we had a seed and bean party!  We had black beans, black-eyed peas, 16 bean soup, lentil stew, split pea soup, edamame, kidney beans, baked lima beans, pomegranate seeds, popcorn, flax seed chips and sesame seed crackers.  It was a real seed and bean feast!  Students were adventurous and tried all of the different beans and seeds, and even went back for seconds.  It was a great culminating event for our study of seeds this fall.
