 We were Bumblebee and Ladybug scientists as we explored the inside of sunflowers grown right here at Seabury. With tweezers, magnifying glasses and safety goggles, not to mention lots of curiosity, we explored the insides of the flower, stem and leaves. We discovered not all sunflower seeds can be eaten and they were white when we harvested them! We looked at the veins in the leaves carrying water and nutrients and dissected the stem to see what was inside. At the end we recreated our own sunflowers using seeds in our design.
