Description

Why do potatoes have eyes? Can a garden grow without dirt? What's that blue stuff that grows on bread? Children ask a lot of questions about the world and what it's made of.

Plants contains 13 carefully chosen experiments from the Ontario Science Centre. With minimal supervision, children explore how plants grow and why they need water, sunlight and soil. The Starting with Science series combines easy-to-do experiments with easy-to-understand explanations.
