Before starting the experiment, we reviewed what plants need to survive. We also introduced the vocabulary for what we need to grow a plant. We divided the class into four groups each of which received five ¨pots¨ (clear plastic cups). We removed one basic need from four of the plants (plant 1 had no water, plant 2 had no sunlight, plant 3 had no air, and plant 4 had no soil) and left the last plant with all of them. The students recorded their findings as the plants grew (or not) on the first, fourth, and seventh days. They were very excited about growing their own plants and although some of the plants grew without a basic need, they were able to see how a plant grows.
