We have had a potato sitting in our classroom for about a month. It started to grow some sprouts. We noticed this changed and wanted to research more about planting potatoes so new ones could grow. We had a discussion about whether potatoes had seeds inside or not. Then we cut the potato open to have a look and found there were no seeds. We watched a video about planting potatoes and Shoichi remembered he had read a book in Japanese in the library about planting potatoes. He went with Erica and Sosuke to check it out. Then Erica, Sosuke and Shoichi helped translate it into English for us. Next we went to the garden and planted our potato in a pot of soil and gave it plenty of water. Now we are waiting to see if any new potato plants will grow. If they do, we have decided we want to eat them!
