Plant Investigation

Test plants with and without light or water.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 54

Let's test what plants need! Start with two plants that are the same. Give both water. Put one by a sunny window, and one in a dark closet.
After two weeks, the plant in the dark is thin and pale. It needed light!
Now test water. Put two plants in the sun. Water only one. The one with no water droops, and its soil is dry.
It's a fair test when only one thing is different. Then you know what caused the change!
Your turn! Put the steps of the plant test in order.
