Garden in a Glove
In each finger of the glove,
you’ll grow a different type of plant.
Procedure
1. Label each finger with the type of seeds that you will put in that finger.
2. Take two cotton balls and dip them in water. Squeeze the cotton balls
to remove excess water.
3. Place two or three seeds of each type into the cotton balls and place the cotton balls into the fingers of the glove. If you labeled the fingers, make sure the correct seeds go into each finger!
4. Blow a small amount of air into the glove and close it with a twist-tie or pipe-cleaner.
5. Tape or hang the glove in a warm spot (like in a sunny window) and watch the seeds sprout.
Observations
Record the growth of the seeds.
Which grows first? Which grows the longest?
Two or three days after the seedlings
sprout, cut off the tips of the fingers and
plant the seedlings, cotton ball and all.
If you leave the seedlings in the
glove, they will eventually run low
on air, water and nutrients.
