This month in science...

These are pictures of science lessons we have been doing. In this lesson we learned about jumping beans. We learned that jumping beans jump because of the larva inside them. They jump the most in the light because they like to get away from the sun and into the shade. They would burn up otherwise.

Testing the jumping beans to see how many jumps they do on the floor in five minutes.


A graph showing how many times the jumping beans jumped at each spot (floor, warm bed, under warm light).
Making a picture of our graph the cycle of the larva in the jumping beans.

Making a picture of jumping beans going from larva to moths.
Egen's finished picture of larva cycle and graph.

About the jumping beans jumping and the larva getting out of the jumping beans.
