A few weeks ago we were playing with corn meal in the sensory table. Some of the children started talking about what you could make with the cornmeal. This led us to a discussion about all sorts of corn including popped corn and ears of corn.
When the ears of corn appeared in the sensory table there was a lot of excitement!
"How do we get the corn out?" "Look! Some of the corn is white and some is yellow." "Can we eat it?"
That questions led us to the kitchen where we discussed how to cook corn.
C - "I think you cook corn in the microwave!"
M - "You cook in on the stove in a bowl of water."
M, J, C, & D - "You should put it in the oven"
We decided to do all three and see what happened.
After cutting the corn off of the cob, we taste-tested all three. We were all surprised to find out that all three methods worked! Even though the did all three work, the children all agreed that the pot of water method worked the BEST.
