We also made an experiment: we planted white beans seeds in a box with some obstacles and a little hole on top. We wanted to see if a seed can grow without sunlight or very little sunlight. Now, we can assure that, amazingly, they grew faster than the others, looking for the sunlight!!!

Good morning everyone!
In 4th grade, we are learning about food and health.

Thank you very much for coming, now we know a lot of things about diabetes.
