Young Children Doing Science


“Why are day lilies called day lilies?” asks Sean, 6 years old

“I think it’s because each bloom only lasts for one day”, says his teacher.

That day Sean goes home and marks one lily flower in his garden.
Every day for the next three days, without his teacher’s knowledge,
the first thing he does is check that flower.


On the last day the flower dies. Sean comes to school and tells his teacher
“Day lilies last for three days not one!”
