  • Grow beasts: plunk ‘em in water, and four days later they’ve grown! Students measure, estimate, predict growth rates, measure some more, compile data, make choices, crunch numbers, and get excited, using math to make sense in an inquiry environment. Come to this session and time warp through the process. Leave with a plan and a grow beast.
