Our first tulip bloomed on Mon. Mar. 31st. By Wed. Ap.2, many more had bloomed. Our 3rd grade scientists spent an hour in the garden recording their observations, in writing and with labeled sketches, in their science journals. They measured the plants- leaves, stalks and flower petals- and any other measurement they could think of. The air temp. in our garden was 86 degrees F, the soil temp. was 70 degrees F and the day was crystal clear and windy. Out of 36 bulbs planted, two didn't come up at all. We have 4 experiment bulbs, one sideways, 3 upside-down. All emerged, but no blooms yet.
