Our first plant experiment in God's Design For Life: The World of Plants was seeing what things a seed needed to grow. You can see our other projects at a previous post.
Each baggie had different variables in it. The #1 baggie was our control group. It had all the variables (water, warmth, light and air) we were using in this experiment.
We placed #1 by my kitchen window along with baggie #3 (warmth, light, air) and baggie #4 (warmth, light, water, no air).
Next we placed baggie #2 (water, air) in the refrigerator. (Like his chocolate stained face? I think it was m&m's!)
Finally we placed #5 (warmth, air, water, no light) in the hall closet.
After some time...can't remember exactly how much time because we weren't writing it down...(oops!) Here is our #1 baggie!
Pretty cool huh!? Our #5 baggie worked really well too, but wasn't as green because it needed the sunlight. When we put it out in the sun, it did turn green! Pretty cool!
We used dried black beans from my kitchen cupboards. It worked suprisingly well!
We did this clear back in April...haven't worked much more through the science book yet, but we have been tending my real live garden. We'll start up the book again in a couple of weeks.
