Ever wonder what roots looked like when they are actually growing?
Well your kids probably do too! Using Crystal Ice or WaterSmart
Crystals, its easy to create a visual example in which the kids
can watch the entire process from germination to flower formation!
Any seed type will do from Jack-Be-Nimble, Miniature Pumpkin, Heavenly
Blue Morning Glory, or Mammoth Sunflower seeds!
*Excellent visual reinforcement of the life sciences curriculum
*Let's students see the whole process of plant growth from germination
to maturity
*Fast growing for immediate results - germinates in 1-2 days.
*See root growth behavior not observable in regular soil or standard
hydroponics.
*All ages will find it easy to set up, and have fun watching the
crystals swell 100 of times in size.
*Affordable for the whole class or for home schooling, only half
a tsp. per large clear glass!
Simple Steps:
1) add half tsp. to large tall clear glass.
2) fill with water.
3) let expand over 3 hours-drain excess.
4) Push one or two seeds down into center of the expanded crystals.
5) Set in a dark location, out of direct sunlight.
6) Let nature take its course!
Great school projects can be generated by comparing growth rate
vs a number of variables: nutrients, water types (hard,
soft, distilled), contaminants, etc.
