A start that needs more
Like another volume in this series, this book has good intentions, but questionable follow-through. The experiment to compare fertilizer with no fertilizer uses potting soil, which probably has enough minerals to make the two conditions very similar. The two marigold plants that were used could have easily had time-release fertilizer in their soil as well. They at least had been watered with a nutrient solution by the grower. That experiment would be better with something like sand as the growing material and small seeds as the plant. The photos of results are poor quality for the experiment about putting petroleum jelly on leaves . The experiments use one plant for each condition, an approach that isn't a good model and often fails to show a clear result. The pages have a bright colored, textured background that competes with the photos and text.
A science fair project in one convenient spot.
There are few absolutes in life, and the annual school Science Fair is one of them. Experiment with What a Plant Needs to Grow is here to rescue your child (and you) from yet another ice cube melting experiment. With full-color photographs and easy to read, step-by-step language, the book guides you and your child through the necessaries in keeping a plant alive â sunlight, air, water, minerals â and the finer details: how much water does a seed need to sprout? What will a plant do to find the light it needs (hint: a LOT)?
The book is a science fair project in one convenient spot. There are several experiments from which to select, and the book never gives anything away for free â it asks questions to guide your child in the scientific process, never handing your child the answer. These are hugely helpful questions that they can use to write their own notes and summaries, and bring home that winning ribbon. Good luck!
