Learn practical life lessons through nature and science. Each year I am amazed at the applicable life lessons we can learn from science. This bean seed which we started out in the dark, sprouted faster, grew taller and stronger and in the end produced more beans than the one we started in the light! Through this experiment, we learned that it is our dark and challenging times that cause us to grow stronger and push towards the light and hope. In the end, our lives will be more fruitful!
