paper towels
presoaked bean or corn seeds
What to do:
- Stuff a clear plastic jar with paper towels.
- Add enough water to dampen all of the paper towels.
- Have the child "plant" the seeds in between the clear jar wall and the paper towels so they are visible from the outside.
- Watch the jar for the next week,look for root development and keep the paper towels damp.
- After some root growth,turn the jar upside down and watch for several more days , the roots will change direction to continue growing down.

I love doing experiments like these. Have you ever used an experiment sheet? My kids used to love to make hypothesis and see if there were right. If you need a link, I can send one.
No, we are just getting started with
the experiment thing. Princess
keeps asking for more "science and math". I would love a link.
Thanks!!
I want to see the experiment sheet as well. We need to get back in the groove and do this experiment.
