​Like Peas In a Pod

Today some lucky first graders got to pay it forward, harvesting dried pea seeds from their Fall planting for next year’s class.  The school calendar lends itself nicely to saving seeds like snap peas, which are planted in the Fall, nibbled through the Winter, and set their seeds in early Spring.  As part of our lesson, we did some careful observing to predict and then quantify how many peas were in each pea pod.  Students made bar graphs depicting their results and brainstormed a process for determining which number of peas occurred most often in the class (i.e., the mode.)  After setting aside seeds for next year’s first graders, students made their own pea seed packets to take home and enjoy next Fall.  We ended the lesson with a wonderful nature walk looking and listening for signs of Spring.
