As years pass, curriculum and certain activities have been modified to the changes of time. There are some activities and projects that withstand through the changes of time and are still practiced to this day, of of those being the Lima Bean project.Lima Bean projects have been done as an introductory activity for students throughout many years. Why have teachers stuck to this specific seed throughout all these years?  Well first of all, lima beans sprout easily and quickly. This makes it a great activity for young children and it help correlates with the amount of time that is meant to spend on the lesson. Also, Lima beans sprout clearly enough to be able to tell all the stages of the life cycle of a plant throughly.
