Watching seeds grow is an incredible science lesson for students as they are very inquisitive about life and growth of living things.

As part of the experiential learning, the ‘Germination of seeds’ activity was done with the aim to demonstrate parts of seeds and how plants develop from seeds for the students of Grade III. Students germinated the seeds in a paper cup with the help of paper tissue, cotton, water and green moong pulse/ black chickpeas/ kidney beans.

Students noticed the growth over a week’s time and their happiness knew no bound as they witnessed the entire seed germination process.

It gave them the opportunity to see different parts of seeds, how a seed grows and what was happening under the ground! Their excitement peaked when they saw a little plant coming out.
