Collect Mushroom Spores at Home
Ready to unlock the secret of mushrooms? Join us and discover the magic of mushroom spores with our exciting experiment!
Materials:
Mushrooms (portobello and shiitake mushrooms work well)
Thick white and black paper (construction paper or index cards work - something thicker than printer paper)
Glass baking dish
Knife (for grown-ups to use)
Hairspray (optional)
Get ready for an exciting family adventure! Let's explore the amazing world of mushrooms together and learn how they grow and reproduce in a fun-filled science experiment.
Using mushrooms from your local grocery store, we'll show you how to collect spores and make a scientific hypothesis about where they'll go. Get your kids excited about science by encouraging them to ask questions, make observations, and form their own hypotheses.
And that's not all - we provide a Science Journal and discussion questions so your little ones can record their observations and discuss what they’ve learned! Join us for an adventure full of scientific wonder and discovery!
