Water Plant Adaptions Science Fair Kit

This fascinating science fair kit uses water plants - unique in their characteristics and adaptations - to teach young scientists the principles of dormant vs. active states, evaporation, natural selection, evolution, vascular vs. nonvascular and other principles.

Kids will learn about adaptations of water plants, hygroscopic qualities in plants, the process of osmosis through food-coloring tablets, how and why water becomes toxic and more!They'll add fertilizer to the Evergreen and Lotus plants to discover which macronutrients all plants need, and experiment with different growing mediums to see what each plant likes best.

Each complete kit includes:

• 2 Everlasting Evergreens
• Sensitive Plant seeds (Mimosa pudica)
• 3 treated Lotus seeds
• 3 untreated Lotus seeds
• 10 biodegradable corn clear plastic germination bases
• 2 biodegradable corn clear plastic germination lids
• 6 net pots
• 1 coconut germination disk
• water retention crystal pack
• 3 food coloring tablets
• experiment and science guide
