During the Fall season, we investigated acorns. We did many science experiments, observations and plantings. We have been finding acorns sprouting outside on our playground, but the acorns that we planted inside in containers have not sprouted. We learned that an acorn (oak tree seed) needs to go through a deep freeze before it can sprout. The seeds inside, did not get cold, therefore they did not sprout! Today we emptied the acorns that we had planted to find that some of them had turned black, while others remained brown.
