This is a fun book of experiments that young students can use to find out about plant roots ...

Experiments are lots of fun, especially if you can learn something when you run them. After you are all done, sometimes itâs easy to draw conclusions from what you see. If you want to learn about the amount of water onion roots can take up into the bulb, itâs very easy to run an experiment to find out. You canât peek under the ground to figure this out, but there is a way. Just what kind of a simple experiment will help you discover how much water they take up so you can actually visualize it?

Itâs actually not all that hard. If you gather together a clear Mason jar (or something similar, some liquid plant food, some clingy plastic wrap, a permanent marker, a pencil, paper and ruler, some toothpicks, water, a rubber band, and an onion bulb. Fill your jar up with water and add a bit of plant food. Next youâll need to put about four toothpicks into the onion bulb and balance it on the top of the jar. You should âmake sure the bottom of the onion touches the water. Mark your jar on the outside so youâll know the water level. Next youâll seal your jar with the plastic wrap to âkeep water from evaporating.â

Once the roots start to grow you can check and mark your water level each time. Start observing the results and think about what happened. How much water do you think those roots took up? The results should give you a pretty good idea. There are many experiments that will tell you about the roots of plants. For example, in this book you can learn whether or not roots always grow down or not, how much of a plant is roots, and whether or not a piece of carrot root can grow new leaves. Youâll be able to find out just how these things happen when you run some very interesting experiments. Directions for each one are found in the pages of this book.

This is a fun book of experiments that young students can use to find out about plant roots. Each experiment is a simple one that can be done at home or in a classroom. The list of things needed for each experiment is listed in a visual sidebar with labels for each item. Newly independent readers can work through this chapter book with some assistance with words such as âprediction,â words that are defined in the glossary. The layout pops with colorful photographs and has small sidebars that add additional information. There are four simple, kid-friendly experiments that will help young students learn about plant science. In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, an âObserve Like a Scientistâ section, some âFun Facts,â and additional recommended book and website resources to explore.
