grow?
Use small green plants, like beans, for this investigation.

1 Describe what you will do to make this a fair test. Think about the number of
plants you will need, the size of the plants and the growing conditions.

2 What do you predict will happen?

3 Observe the plants every day for at least one week. Measure the height of
each plant. Describe the colour of the leaves.
Record your observations here.
