We dissected some items from our lunch today. Fortunately, we're studying plants. We cut open corn kernals to see the plant embryos inside and cut open the green beans to find the seeds, then cut the seeds to find the embryos. Then we had a nice lunch which included plant stems with cheese (broccoli) and seeds and pods (corn and green beans). We also started some seeds in those tiny disolvable pots.
This is the way Konos works. My younger son cut open his green bean and said "here's the plant embryo. See the leaves? And there is the root. I just took off the seed coat." Now they are supposed to be in there drawing and labeling monocot and dicot seeds for their notebooks while I finish working.
