Activity: Observing and recording the growth of roots in onion
Growth and development are a very basic sign of any thing which is living. In plants this growth
happens because of the dividing meristematic tissues. The students observed and recorded the
same in the onion root tip experiment.
Confined to their own homes, the earnestness they showed to follow the instructions given by
the teacher, the skill with which they did the set-up this experiment and the patience they had
to observe the growth of onion root tips at regular interval is commendable.
This bunch of Srians and SriSrites is truly driven by never dying enthusiasm and growth mindset.
This growth mindset within them will help them in future also to find novel solutions to new
and old problems when the world continues to globalize. At the same time, while the growth is
happening it is important to be still connected to the roots.
