Tell your students that when onions are busy growing they are drawing in sulfur from the soil. This is where the science comes into your lesson. But, when you slice into the onion you will start to produce tears as you work with it. Go over the list and ask what makes an onion different from the other vegetables? Explain that you can chop, with a knife, all the vegetables you grow in a garden or buy at a market. Now, ask your students what vegetables can be grown in a garden. Wondering who grew the world’s largest onion? Share this fun fact with your students: They can be grown on farms and also in the home garden. Onions are part of the “Genus Allium” family. The onion plant that is allowed to grow for the longest amount of time will produce the biggest bulb.Įxplain to your students there are different types of onions as far as shape, and size, and color. When planted, the onion has green stalks that grow above the ground, and the bulb is below soil level. Different varieties are grown across the country.
The onion grows to maturity according to the scheduled amount of daylight. Onions are considered to be root vegetables as the entire bulb is grown in the ground. When you see someone begin to tear up when chopping an onion, there’s actually a scientific reason behind it.

He was discharged last week, two months after his initial due date, local media said.Ask your students if they have ever seen anyone start to cry in the kitchen while preparing a meal. Keio University School of Medicine, Department of PediatricsĪfter five months of treatment, the boy now weighs just over 7 pounds, is feeding normally and has been discharged, Keio University Hospital said. The boy is seen five days after his birth in Tokyo, Japan, in this undated handout photo obtained by Reuters on Feb. The record was previously held by a boy born in Germany in 2009 weighing just 274 grams (9.6 ounces), the hospital said, citing a registry put together by University of Iowa for the world's tiniest surviving babies. Keio University Hospital said the boy is believed to now hold the record for the smallest newborn boy to be discharged from a hospital in good health. He was so small he fit in an adult's cupped hands. The tiny tot weighed just 268 grams - under 10 ounces - when he was delivered at 24 weeks, reportedly after he stopped growing in the womb. A baby born in Tokyo weighing the same as a large onion has gone home healthy.
