Hi.

Welcome to the Curiosity Carnival. An exploration into the fun and messy behind-the-scenes of being a STEM teacher in San Francisco.

Colorful Cabbage - 2015

Colorful Cabbage - 2015

Kicking off a huge unit about access to quality foods, students are sharing that they know about plants. What are the parts of a plant? What parts of plants do humans eat? What does a plant need to grow and thrive?

Look at these cool cabbage leaved that were drinking up the colored water. Students made predictions and documented the color change over time. Do you notice which parts of the cabbage leaf absorbed the most water?

Also there is a top-view of the four cabbage leaves, showing off their newly absorbed colors, and a blast from the past.
