Can't see kids being consistant with the watering . Thought about some kind of measuring device , then realized kids won't remember to water tmorros , much les two or three days from now .

In today's environment, parents will have plenty of time to supervise
This is a great science experiment for any of your kids stuck at home.
Lay out 10 (or multiples of 10) evenly distant on a wet towel surface
Keep it wet. Moisten with purified water, if possible, to eliminate variables.
Take pictures of each set once one has germinated. Be consistent with your watering time, amounts, and time of day the pic is taken (the goal...eliminate variables).
Remember; a control would be fresh seeds, or seed types that create 100% germination. (that's why the sets of 10...to keep it mathematically simple).
Print out the pics...make graphs...Easy, valid science experiment; most elementary and/or Jr. Hi science competitions would welcome a well done, clearly illustrated experiment like this. Don't take on too many seed types/ages; remember the KISS rule (Keep it Short and Simple).

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
