Article 1: The Growth Process of Bean Sprouts
One day, the teacher asked us to prepare a transparent plastic cup, some cotton, a few mung beans and so on. Let us go to observe the growth process of mung beans.
First, I put the cotton into the bottom of the plastic cup, add a little water, so that the cotton is wet, and then put the green beans in the bottom of the cup on top of the cotton. With all the preparations done, I waited for the mung beans to sprout.
The next day, I couldn't wait to see the mung bean sprouts, I carefully picked up the plastic cup to see, and found that the mung bean teeth drank enough water, turned into a little fat, the outer skin grows wrinkles, like a grandmother's skin. In the afternoon when I came home from school, I went to look at the mung bean sprouts again, and again found the skin of the mung bean sprouts ruptured, revealing a little white, tender bud in the center.
On the third day there was a new discovery, the mung bean sprouts grew 1-2 centimeters in height, and the outer skin of the mung bean sprouts cracked, as if smiling at me. I saw a slit in the middle of the mung bean sprouts, and it turned out that the little buds were growing out of this slit.
Over the next few days, I changed the water for the mung bean sprouts, and I saw them grow taller, the beanstalks separated, and little green leaves grew. The mung bean sprouts grew taller and thicker every day, as if saying, "I'm growing up! I've grown!" The mung bean sprouts grew taller than water glasses. I happily showed the mung bean sprouts I planted to my mom and said, "Mom, look at the mung bean sprouts I planted, it's ready for cooking." Mom looked at it, smiled and said, "I'll cook it for you okay!" I said, "Sure! It must be delicious and tasty!"
This experiment showed me how mung bean sprouts grow.
Episode 2: The growth process of bean sprouts
Thud, thud, thud ...... A dozen little peas jumped one by one into the small plate, I used warm water to just submerge them, and then placed it on the coffee table to wait for it to germinate.
The next day, I got up early, did not care to wear clothes and shoes, they went out of bed to see my little peas, only to see them after a day and night of percolation, than yesterday more and more up, I was under the guidance of the grandmother, every four hours to change the water, and so I gave the little peas again to change the water, and suddenly found that there is a pea has risen to its own 2 to 3 times. Not only taller, but also fat. I was so happy.
The third day, I squatted beside the small beans and observed, and found that these small beans are not only bigger, and some of the top of the beans have risen open, which means that they are about to germinate, my heart is like eating honey as sweet. I immediately told my grandma about this, and she was very happy to hear it. I changed the water for the little beans once more and saw them greedily sucking the cool and delicious source of life.
On the fourth day, when I got up to change the water for the beanstalks, I found that they had sprouted, green and tender, and I not only danced and screamed, but also called out, and my grandma came over and asked, "What's going on?", and I pulled my grandma and said, "Come and look at it, it finally sprouted! "Grandma looked at my carefully cultivated bean sprouts also smiled happily.
On the fifth day, at dawn, I got up in a hurry and walked quickly to the bean sprouts, and saw that the beans had sprouted more than an inch high, and I looked excitedly at the masterpiece that I had cultivated, and a kind of joy of success welled up in my heart.
Part III: the growth process of bean sprouts
I often into bean sprouts, but I do not know how the bean sprouts grow. In order to figure out the growth process of bean sprouts one night I deliberately soaked half a bowl of soybeans.
Early Saturday morning, I can not wait to see the beans, good guy, they drank water overnight, one by one are keyed to a big belly, than yesterday are fat a big circle.
To the afternoon, greedy soybean because too much water. Finally couldn't hold out, the belly split open a mouth, pointed buds from the inside quietly poking out the face. The buds also bulged. It was as if it had accidentally hit a large bag on its head that could huff and puff at any moment.
Sunday, the soybean buds grew a lot longer, soybean buds finally broke the skin and go, probing the little head curiously surveyed this magical world.
Monday, the soybean girl took off her yellow coat to reveal her snow-white and snow-white body. It grew stronger. Bent more like an elephant's tusk. I saw the soybean changed, heart very happy. It had grown anyway and I was very happy.
Tuesday, the soybean sprouts of the root grew tiny fluffy hairs, it hot can no longer stand, took off its yellow uniform. The soybean sprouts all stretched out their long, slender legs, like models taking catwalks on the catwalk.
After a few days of observation, I know a truth: any creature has its own growth pattern, as long as you pay attention to observe, you can find many mysteries in life.
Part IV: Bean Sprout Growth Story
Over the summer, my mom said that in order to cultivate my observation, she would let me write a diary about the growth process of bean sprouts.
July 18th night, I grabbed a large handful of soybeans from a plastic bag and put them in a transparent glass, then poured some water on them and let them soak in the water. After a while, then pour out the water and replace it with clean water. My mom told me that this is to give the soybeans a bath first, so that the bean sprouts are hygienic. The next day, as soon as I woke up, I went to see how the bean sprouts were changing. I saw that the soybeans were swollen and bulging, two or three times bigger than at the beginning, and there were no sprouts yet. Mom said that now the beans had been soaked almost to the point where they should be dumped out of the water, and that the soybeans should not be soaked in water all the time. Just soaking them overnight is enough, otherwise they will rot. However, you have to keep the humidity up later, by covering the cups with wet gauze.
On the third day, I noticed sharp, short, tender white shoots appearing on the heads of the soybeans. I estimated that it was about 2㎜. At this time, my mom told me to pour some more water into the cup and strain it. Now it's summer, from now on, every half a day you have to filter the water for the bean sprouts to keep the humidity.
When I went to check the bean sprouts again on the afternoon of the fourth day, I found that more soybeans had sprouted. The bean sprouts that came up first grew quickly, but they were of different lengths and mostly bent. I took out the longest one from the cup and measured it with a ruler, and it was as long as 25㎜, and the sprouts grew thicker and thicker, and there was peeling skin.
On the fifth day, the bean sprouts grew even longer because they were a little bit curved, and were estimated to be 40㎜. I was surprised that the bean sprouts were growing so fast, in less than a week, they had grown so long. If they grow this fast every day, soon I will be able to eat my own bean sprouts.
Part 5: Bean Sprouts Growing
The day before yesterday, the teacher assigned an interesting homework--soaking beans and asked us to observe how the beans grow.
I came home, found a paper cup, grabbed a handful of mung beans into the cup, received half a cup of warm water, and then held the cup with beans eyeballing the changes, but, my eyes have been swollen, the small beans but no change at all, I had to put it on the side, and a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a moment to look at a number of times, and did not see anything, the night is late, the mother urged me to go to bed. Mom urged me to go to bed, I had to reluctantly put down the beloved little beans to rest, even dreaming of the beans sprouting scene.
The next morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I couldn't wait to look at the little beans, and found that yesterday was so small beans, today it is the same size as soybeans, and the small white spots on it also cracked a slit, and I rushed to change the water to the little beans, and saw that the water had turned green, and even the white cups were also colored green. I was so excited!
With the excitement of a day of classes, the evening back home, I went to see the small beans, found that the small beans out of the small tail, the green garment is also half off, revealing the white body, I'm afraid of small beans cold, let my mother to me to find a piece of white cloth, I dipped the cloth into the water and wrung it out, put in a paper cup, so that the small beans lie on it, take to let my mother see, my mother saw the laugh, I asked my mom what the laugh, I was puzzled. I asked my mom what she was laughing at, and she said to me, "The little bean needs a quilt, not a mattress, and you should put the cloth on top of the bean." Listening to my mom's words, I folded the cloth over the top of the beans, put the cups at the end of my bed, and let them go to sleep with me.
The third morning, I lifted the cloth and saw, ah, the little beans' tails were longer, and their bodies had become fat, and I couldn't be happier!
The teacher assigned this homework, let me see the growth process of the little bean sprouts, and think of my own bean sprouts, fried to eat, must be very delicious! It was so much fun!
