Dear Readers,
Does your child have a green thumb? Try this experiment.
Supplies you will need: 2 small potted plants (use the same type of
plant), watering can, water, pen or pencil, note pad
Steps:
1. Draw a line down the middle of the paper
2. Put plant 1 on one side, Put plant 2 on the other side ( Use plant 1 and 2 because it is a experiment. Do not use names because your child may become attached to the personalized plants
3 Have your child water one of the plants, and do not water the other one for 2 weeks.
4. Each day record changes on the paper if any in the plants. (color plant, physical characterist of plant, soil,)
5. Talk to the plant.
6. At the end of the experiment have your child water the dropping plant.
7. Talk about what happened and why. (Plants usually perk up with water just as children perk up with encouragement, and good words and smiles from parents, other relatives and adults.
