Starting Our Experiment.


Here goes the first real experiment of the school year. Cress seeds in petri dishes, one in a dark cupboard, one in a window, both well watered. The hypothesis? Plants need light to grow. Will we be right? Do they need light, or just warmth? Guess we'll see!!

sprout? or grow?
there's a difference
Oh, and I bet your cupboard sees some light...

Grow. But these are cress seeds, they take 14 days to be fully developed into plants, so I'll only be letting them grow a week to check. In a week, you can have baby cress to eat.

As for that cupboard getting light, I'll be careful this week. Plus, it's my bulk spice cupboard, so I don't have to open it unless my fresh stuff runs out, but right now the herb garden is growing nicely, so I think we can avoid opening it for a week.
