So How did we end up Spending yesterday talking about beans.
Well Sir J has been curious where things he eats come from.
We have been doing a cooking and ingredients unit study. We have learned about germs, hand-washing, what a cook wares, cheese, Milk, and today Beans
Why Beans well we were making nachos which uses chips(I have made my own lots from tortillas, and make tortillas all the time so this was nothing new to the kids)
tomatoes, grean onions, cheese, sourcream Sir J guessed this was made simular to cheese using milk and the proper enzymes. which is real close...but had no idea how we got refried beans he knew they were mashed beans. But what were beans they arent a meat, they didnt look like a grain...So we looked it up.
I never realized how interesting bean plants looked
Here is a cool UK site on pinto beans here is someone who decided to sprout their own beans wanting to know what the plant looked like.
Home-school Freebie
Another Cool site I use all the time. I get ideas for Sir Jays drawing lessons from this site.
