I wrote it down. I promise.

Day One

Note: This experiment suggests that you plant 8 beans (four in the light and four in the dark). This is to make sure you have at least one bean sprout in each group—it's not 100% guaranteed that each bean will sprout. As the experiment progresses, you should record the results from only one plant in each group and stick with that plant for the whole experiment. You should pick the plant that is growing the most.
Note: It may take up to a week to see any plants sprout. Please run the experiment for at least two full weeks.

Please follow these steps carefully:

Cut the toilet paper rolls in half so that you have 8 small cylinders (ask a parent or older sibling to help with this step!) 
Coat the inside of each cylinder with newspaper strips so that the bottom can hold potting soil. 
Fill each cylinder with enough dirt so that you leave only about 1/4 inch of cardboard showing at its top.
Make a small hole no deeper than an inch and no wider than your thumb in the potting soil in each cylinder.
Place one lima bean in each hole and cover it completely. 
Place 4 cylinders on one tray or plate, and 4 on the other.
Water all 8 by putting 2 tablespoons of water in each.
Take one tray of 4 cylinders and put it in a spot that will be pitch black all day every day.
Take the other tray and leave it in a place that receives plenty of sunlight during the day.
When you are done with the experiment, you can leave your plant in the cardboard cylinder and place it right in a plant pot or garden!

Hypothesis:

Do you think the amount of light the two groups of plants get will have an effect on the beans as they begin to grow? Why?

What do you think will happen to the lima beans that receive sunlight? Explain your answer.

The Best New STEM Education Resources from NASA-JPL in 2021
By Kim Orr

In 2021, we added nearly 80 STEM education resources to our online catalog of lessons, activities, articles, and videos for educators, students, and families. The resources feature NASA's latest missions exploring Earth, the Moon, Mars, asteroids, the Solar System and the universe beyond. Here are the 10 resources our audiences visited most this year.

 NASA's Mission to Mars Student ChallengeTo kick off the year, we invited students, educators, and families from around the world to create their own mission to Mars as we counted down to the Perseverance rover's epic landing on the Red Planet in February. More than one million students participated in the Mission to Mars Student Challenge, which features seven weeks of guided education plans, student projects, and expert talks and interviews highlighting each phase of a real Mars mission.It's no surprise that this was our most popular product of the year. And good news: It's still available and timely! With Perseverance actively exploring Mars and making new discoveries all the time, the challenge offers ongoing opportunities to get students engaged in real-world STEM. Need a primer on the Perseverance Mars rover mission, first? This article from our Teachable Moments series has you covered. Solar System Size and DistanceThis video offers a short and simple answer to two of students' most enduring questions: How do the sizes of planets compare and how far is it between them? Plus, it gets at why we don't often (or ever) see images that show all the planets' sizes and distances to scale. Spoiler alert: It's pretty much impossible to do.Get students exploring solar system size and distance in more detail and even making their own scale models with this student project. Code a Mars Helicopter Video GameAs you'll soon see from the rest of this list, coding projects were a big draw this year.
