We did some experiments. One was seeing whether a broken magic-growing egg or a full egg would give the faster result when put in water. The rooster and the paracephalosaurus grew at the same rate, surprisingly enough. We also had a few extra growing toys to allow each group to grow something.
Our other experiment was to see whether table or rock salt would grow crystals the fastest. The children had to work cooperatively and follow directions to complete this. The wrote a recount the next day.
Some of the children missed out. They still wanted their stories of missing out to be published.
