See Seeds Come to Life! Activity
What You Need:
• Seeds – any kind – just a few
• Paper towel
• Plastic cups
• Ruler
• Cup of water
• Observation sheet
What You Do:
1. Fold a paper towel so that it fits just inside the plastic cup. Place the paper towel in the plastic
cup.
2. Pour the half cup of water into the bag so your seeds have something to drink.
3. Have your child put your seeds into the bag so that they rest in the paper towel.
4. Help your child tape your project house to a window so it gets plenty of light.
5. Use the printable observation sheet to track your seedlings' progress. Each day, check the green
house together with your child and ask her what she thinks may be happening. Does she see
anything beginning to sprout up?
