We did a bean experiment! We did it by putting a paper towel in a pasta jar that was washed and had no pasta left in it. We put water in the jar, and then we put beans in between the paper towel and the jar. The beans stayed up because they were squished against the jar by the paper towel. We waited a long time, I don’t know how many days, maybe four or five days. After those days we saw roots growing down from the beans and a little shoot growing up. Even when we tilt the jar, the roots still go down to get the water. So I learned from it that shoots grow up and roots grow down.
