Soil Experiments

As you know, we have been exploring trees and what they need to live. We have learned that they need water, air and sunlight to make food. After digging around in the ground for roots last week, some of the children began wondering what else they could grow in soil. As a result, a few different experiments emerged to find out.

We planted pumpkin seeds. Will it grow into a flower or a pumpkin?

We planted mung bean seeds. 

We planted a leaf. Will it grow into a tree?

We planted grass roots. 

We gave them water.

We blew on them to give them some extra air. 

We placed them by the window so they would get sunlight.

Now we have to wait and see what happens!
