Talk together

  • What changed since our first drawing?
  • What did both plants get?
  • What do plants and animals both need?

Get ready

  • Week 7 log and both seedlings; needs cards, magnifier and crayons; return dark plant to suitable light after recording.

Safety

  • A grown-up stays within reach of water. Use small amounts in shallow unbreakable trays, away from power; wipe spills and wash hands. Do not drink test water.
  • Do not eat test seeds, plants or materials. No tasting is needed; check allergies and wash hands.
