Our science experiment for the next few weeks is placing a potato in shoe box giving it some soil to rest on and some things we use in the classroom and a hole at the end of box…….

 

To do this experiment we needed: a shoe box, scissors, potting mix, a sprouting potato and some tall, short, fat and skinny articles.

First you  cut a hole in the shoe box, in one of the short sides.

Put the soil at the opposite end of the hole.

Place the potato on the soil.

Then place the obstacles in the box.

Put the lid on and place in the sun.

Do not move or open the box for 4 weeks.
