It also provides basic concepts as to how plants and animals breathe and obtain nutrition.
In this "hands on science" experiment, students compare growth between beans planted in soil and beans planted without soil in order to understand the importance of soil nutrients to plant growth.
Read the story about photosynthesis. Color and cut out the pictures.
Place the pictures in the correct boxes on the next page. Glue the pictures in place.
