K2 Activities about PLANTS

on December 16, 2021

We have been learning about plants for long time.

We did many activities in the past few months. One of the examples is the flag idea of K2 friends for Sports Day where tie dye the cloth, made macramé, sew some fruits and stamp paint using leaves.

To continue, we also collected different kinds of plants and experimented on what color will show up if we use it to dye some bags.
スポーツデイでの旗づくりから、いろいろな植物で生地を染めたい!と盛り上がり、葉っぱや根っこ、種などを使いカバンを染めました。染めたカバンは、普段ネイチャーウォークで拾ったものを入れたりしています!

During Story Time, Mr. Akiho also shared about some interesting plants.
食中植物についても、お話しました!

After those activities, K2 friends have been more curious about different plants so, they asked many questions.
まだまだ、たくさんK2の子どもたちから植物についての疑問が出てきました!

What are the parts of the plants?

What do plants need to grow?

“How does water goes up to the stem experiment”
根から水を吸い茎へ、そして葉っぱにも水が流れていることを知りました!

Dandelion

  1. How does dandelion make a fluffy circle-shape flower? どうやってタンポポは丸い綿毛をつくるの?
  2. When do the seeds start flying? いつ綿毛は飛んでいくの?
  3. How many flowers can you see? 一つのタンポポの中にいくつの花があるでしょうか?

Why do some plants like sweet potato grow sideways and others grow up straight?
たてに伸びていく植物と地面をはっていく植物。

Why do some fruits like tomato fall on their own while others are strongly attached on the stem like okra?
トマトのように、熟すと落ちる植物もあれば、オクラのように、実ったあとも茎にくっついたままの植物もある。

What are the safe and dangerous plants in and outside of AMICUS?
身近にある植物にも、危険な植物があることも知りました。Amicusにも危険な植物があることが分かり、それをマップにしました!

How do plants spread their seeds?

We collected many materials like leaves, stems, sticks, flowers, etc. and made our Christmas decorations too.
枝や実、葉っぱなどを集めて、クリスマスの飾りを作りました♪
