| | The Sprouting Seed Race |
 | | Materials: Two different kinds of seeds (preferably of greatly different sized, such as radishes and beans), potting soil, two small planting containers (such as clear plastic cups) for each child, a pencil or dull scissors to poke holes in the cups, masking tape or labels, a watering can, experience-chart paper, and markers. |
 | | After some discussion, give each child a few seeds of one kind to plant in one container, then a few of the other kind to plant in a separate container. |
 | | Help them keep the seeds separate, and label the containers with their names and the seed varieties. |
