One of the other things the girls have been collecting during our recent explorations are pine cones. In our community, there are some beautiful and prolific pine trees that line the main thoroughfare. Have you ever noticed how pine cones change after a few days of rain? This is an easy experiment to do with very common (and free!) materials.
Materials Needed:
- pine cones, at least 8 - 10
- small kitchen towel
- container with water (we used a plastic storage container)
- magnifying glass (optional)
