 Finally
it's spring! Just look around you. Can you feel it? This spring, why
don't you grow your own seeds? It's not that difficult. I'll teach
you how. It's easy and simple! Just keep reading and follow the directions!
What you need: three seeds - bean, corn, and radish
This experiment uses 3 samples to examine the growth of seeds. It
takes 2 to 4 weeks of experiment time.
- 20 × 28 cm piece of light cardboard
- zip-lock bag
- paper towel
- tape
- water
 Preparation:
- Fold the paper towel in half and crease. Then
unfold it.
- Poke 3 very small holes, equally spaced, along the fold of the paper
towel. (You can use a sharp pencil to do this.)
- Place the seeds over top of the holes, one over each hole.
- Fold the paper towel back up and staple up the side to make a pouch.
- Label the top of the paper towel: bean, corn and radish.
- Carefully place the paper towel into the zip-lock bag.
- Tape the zip-lock bag onto the piece of cardboard, leaving the top
open. Tape as firmly as possible.
- Pour a small amount of water into the zip-lock bag. Do not close
the bag.
- Hang your experiment on the wall in a bright place.
Maintenance:
- Each morning, check the experiment. Pour more water in to keep the
paper towel wet.
- Peek inside the wet zip-lock and paper towel to see what the seed
is doing.
- The seed should break open.
- The roots should grow down through the small hole you poked in the
paper towel. |
