 4. Follow instructions to do the experiment

Step 1: Use the aluminum foil and cut out some shapes with the scissors. It can be a circle, a
triangle or any shape as long as it’s big enough to cover about a half of the leaf in PLANT B.

Step 2: Paper clip one shape per leaf. Then put your plants where they can get plenty of
sunlight.

Step 3: Water your plants making sure you leave the shapes of PLANT B’s leaves for several
days.

Step 4: After 5 days, remove the shapes from the leaves and check out each of the leaves that
had a shape covering it (PLANT B). Repeat the same procedure on day 10. Use the chart to
record your observations (you may draw and/or write)
