Materials Required:
Kitchen scraps (e.g., potato eyes, celery base, lettuce stem, green onion roots)
Small containers or dishes
Water
Potting soil (for later planting)
Scissors (optional)
Steps Involved:
Collect various kitchen scraps that can regrow, such as potato eyes, celery bases, lettuce stems, and green onion roots.
Place each type of scrap in a small container or dish with just enough water to cover the base of the scrap.
Place the containers in a sunny location and keep the water level consistent.
Observe the growth of the scraps over time, noting any changes or new growth.
Once the new plants have grown roots or shoots, transfer them into pots with potting soil.
Continue to care for the plants, observing how they develop from kitchen scraps into full plants.
Discuss the process of plant growth from scraps and the importance of reusing and recycling in gardening.
