This is a science experiment for young children ages from 5 to 7 years old. This activity will enhance the children's ability to grasp the concepts of how the  plants grow and the importance of water and sunlight to make a plant survive.

I-                Objective: To understand how the seed grow into a plant.

                     Collecting daily data.

          Comparison: Seed with enough water & sunlight vs seed with a lot of water & no sunlight

                                               

II-              Materials: Sunflower seed (any seed available), Plastic cup, water, paper & pen

III-            Procedure:

Prepare materials, wear gloves and plant the seed.

IV-             Data:    

  

Day	Seed with enough water & sunlight Measurement (cm)	Seed with lots of water & no sunlight Measurement (cm)
1	Just planted 0 cm	Just planted 0 cm
2	0 cm	0 cm
3	0 cm	0 cm
4	0 cm A little bit of soil breakage	0 cm
5	2 cm Sprout is coming	0 cm
6	2.5 cm	0 cm
7	1 inch	0 cm
8	2. 7 inches	0 cm
9	3.1 inckes	0 cm

  

1.      What did you notice on the first day of planting? 

-        Just dirt on the cup

2.      After a week, what did you notice about the two seeds? Does the seed grow or not?

-        The first cup, the seed grow but the other cup no.

V-               Analysis

When planting seed, we need to put enough water and sunlight in order for them to grow, however if we put a lot of water, the seed will get drowned and die and cannot survive. If we put a lot of water and place the pot in a sunny area, there will be possibilities that the seed will survive but if the seed will stay in the dark, the seed will die.

Important thought: 

Seed is like a child, if the mother will give enough love which is the water & sunlight, the child will grow healthy, if too much love or the child is always alone, the child maybe survived however, the child will grow unhealthy.
