Garden Science

I love to garden and I love science!  This is one of my favorite projects to do with my boys.  Joseph vaguely remembered watching a seed grow in a gel medium, but wanted to see it again.  It is easy to make your own greenhouse!  Purchase the crystals that absorb water (various brand names), place them in a freezer bag, add water and wait for the water to be absorbed.  Once the medium is gelatinous, add your seeds and hang in a window.
