                In the poem ‘The Little Plant’, you read about how a seed grows into
                a plant.

                Conduct the following activity to learn how a plant grows from a seed.

                Aim: To grow a plant

                Materials Required:  Kidney bean seeds, water, three small earthen
                                         pots and soil
                Procedure:

                    Take a few kidney bean seeds

                      and three flower pots.
                    Fill the pots with soil and put some
                      kidney bean seeds in all the pots.

                    Label the pots as A, B and C.

                    Keep Pot A inside a room and do not water it.

                    Keep Pot B in sunlight and water it daily.

                    Keep Pot C in sunlight and do not water it.

                Observation: A small plant will emerge from Pot B after some days.


                What was your conclusion? Discuss in the class.

                Put a tick () for the things that are needed by plants to grow
                from seeds.
