Science - Plants
We will be using Mystery Science to have some fun with science. First we will learn about plants. Start with lesson 1. Use the link below and you will not need to sign up for a membership. I will also put up a file for you to download and print some flyers out to build propeller and other items needed for the experiment. You will also need some seeds if you want to do that part of the experiment, they do not have to be any specific type, you choose. In the second part, you will need grass seeds. Take a trip to Home Depot or Armstrong and pick out a small bag. Have some fun with it. If you are unable to do the growing experiments, not to worry, I am going to put up some alternative lessons. I hope you enjoy these lessons!!
