They wrote the day, the date, how it looked like, and labeled the drawing. Lastly, they wrote down their observations.  Preschoolers also learned how to use the ruler and measure in centimeters!    They used magnifying lens to zoom in to the seeds and have a better look of the changes that was happening.   To develop their research skills, Preschoolers started looking at books related to the unit. They copied and wrote down information they found and draw things that  interest them.
