Growing Bean Seeds

Subject: Biology | Grade: 2 | Time: 5 minutes setup, observe over 1-2 weeks

Observe how seeds grow into plants through the germination process using clear containers to see root and shoot development.

What you need

A clear plastic cup
Cotton balls
Water
2-3 bean seeds (rajma, mung, or chana)

How it works

Seeds absorb water and start to grow roots (downward) and shoots (upward). This process is called germination. Students can see real-time growth and learn how plants begin life.
