| Have you ever thought about a science project and | | | | done with soil or plants or seeds. |
| immediately think of test tubes and a scientist with a | | | | Here is a simple project for children: |
| long white lab coat, goofy glasses and a bed-head | | | | - Get a package of seeds from a dollar store |
| hairdo? | | | | - You need 4 pots or containers |
| Most people do think of this when they think of | | | | - Soil or dirt |
| science and when all of a sudden children are asked | | | | - Apple juice |
| to do a science project you become immediately | | | | - Milk |
| panic stricken. | | | | - Vinegar |
| Many scientists work outside with soil and water and | | | | - Water and dishwashing liquid |
| do tests everyday using agriculture. As a matter of | | | | - Cheap inexpensive notebook from dollar store |
| fact many people do science experiments daily | | | | - Marker to mark pots #1, #2, #3, #4 Your question |
| without evening thinking about them. Have you ever | | | | could be "Can plants grow with other liquids than water |
| put one plant at an East window and one at a North | | | | only?" Choose which one you think will work the best. |
| window to see which window is the best for growing | | | | Place the soil/dirt in each of the 4 containers and plant |
| your flowers? You just did a science project | | | | the same number of seeds in each pot. Place the pots |
| experiment. It was a simple project. How about planting | | | | in the same location with the same light and |
| some plants in a hanging basket and some in the | | | | temperature. Now water one pot with vinegar Water |
| ground to see how this plant thrives the best. Maybe | | | | one pot with apple juice Water one pot with milk |
| you grow a garden and planted some seeds directly in | | | | Water one pot with water mixed with 1 tbsp |
| the garden and started some inside. These are all | | | | dishwashing soap |
| ways people actually do science projects daily without | | | | IT'S THAT EASY! Now get your notebook and label |
| even thinking about it. When we lose weight we are | | | | each page with a new day. Every day record what |
| experimenting with carbs, fat grams, sugar and testing | | | | you see from each plant and list when you water the |
| a theory on ourselves to see what combination makes | | | | seeds and how much. You will want to give each pot |
| excess weight come off. | | | | the same amount of liquid as the others so use a |
| Children are staying inside more and more and do not | | | | measuring cup. When the seeds germinate record that. |
| realize the importance of the agriculture around them. | | | | After 2 to 3 weeks explain if seeds can grow in other |
| There are easy simple science projects that can be | | | | liquids and which liquid worked the best. |
