All you have is a plastic bag, paper towel, some beans, a popcorn kernel, rubber band and a cotton ball. Now go outside and pick some things that could fit in the bag (grass, ants, dandelions...). In your bag, what is a live, dead or once was living? Mark your answers in an excel spread sheet.
After a week of the sealed bag sitting near the window, magic happened. Well, biology happen but it was like magic. What I thought was dead, became alive! The beans started to sprout with in the bag! I learned that given only the basic necessities, things and either become alive or stay alive.
This is an activity that I would definitely incorporate in my classroom because if I excited about seeing the results, i think the students would be really excited about it!
