🌻 Grow Lab
Real plants take weeks. In the lab, six weeks go by in twenty seconds. Pick a plant, decide how much water, sun, and what kind of soil it gets, then watch what happens. Scientists change one thing at a time so they know what caused the difference. Can you find what each plant likes best?
1. Pick a plant
2. Water

🏅 Challenges
- ☆ Grow a sunflower taller than 30 inches.
- ☆ Keep a fern healthy (80% or better) for all six weeks.
- ☆ Grow a bluebonnet at least 6 inches tall with 1 cup of water a day or less.
- ☆ Run a fair test: two experiments that differ in only one thing.
- ☆ Grow all four plants to full size.
What plants need
- Water travels up from the roots. Too little and the leaves droop. Too much fills the air holes in the soil, and roots need air too.
- Sunlight is the plant's food maker: leaves use light to turn air and water into sugar.
- Soil holds the roots, water, and minerals. Sandy soil drains fast; clay holds water a long time; loam is in between.
