Digging a little deeper — figuratively and literally

Today we learned even more about plants by exploring their roots systems. We learned why roots are important and the difference between a root and a tap root. Instead of just looking at pictures, we went outside and started pulling up plants (weeds and saplings, mostly).

Here are some things to think about:
Will you be eating any roots at dinner?
If you could have roots, what kind of roots would you want?
Talk to someone in your family about roots.
