make predictions about what will happen with the celery, and how will the plant drink

all that water. The next day, kids will be able to observe what happens and talk about it.

she can paste it over a leaf made with construction paper.

3.4. Edible plant: On a plate, each kid will make an edible plant: broccoli as the

flower, celery as the stem, lettuce as the leaves, little carrots as the roots and corn as the

seeds. They will put them together following teacher’s instructions (teacher will name
