More science experiments: Phototropism (whew!)

For this science experiment I needed clay or play-doh and roll the play-doh into a little snake like the picture below. Then I had to squish one side of the snake so the other side bent over. This demonstrates photo tropism( the picture to the left shows the process). Some plants like sunflowers bend towards the sun to get light.

Now I am anxious to read about your next science experiment! I think I liked the carrot experiment the best. I remember as a kid doing something like that with a carrot or sweet potato. Have a great week! Love from your Nana
