We took a trip to a farmer's market on Friday and used ten dollars to purchase several different vegetables. The class bought a bag of root vegetables including beets, carrots, potatoes and parsnips. Then we purchased some lettuce, kohlrabi and summer turnips.
Today we discussed these vegetables and performed an experiment with them. The students guessed whether each vegetable would float or sink and then we put it into water. We were surprised that the summer turnip floated. Most of the other vegetables we tried sunk.
After our experiment we put all of the ingredients into a crock pot along with some garlic and barley. We waited a few hours and then invited Mrs. Burgess' class to join us for the story Stone Soup, and then to enjoy the soup we made. Our soup was a lovely shade of pink. What vegetable do you think we added to create that color?
