In order to find out which soil is best for growing seeds, we will do an experiment. In this experiment, we will try to grow a single type of flower in three different kinds of soils.

For one soil, we will use a “Seed Starting Mix.” The second soil is an “Organic Potting Mix.” The third is an “In-Ground Garden Soil.”

First, we will plant the seeds. Then we will watch how they grow and take notes. It’s almost like we are watching a flower race!

Along the way, we will ask ourself different questions. Are plants growing faster in one soil? Which one will be the biggest? Why do we think one soil will do better than another?

After we do the experiment, we will tell a story about what we did and what happened. We will tell the story by giving a presentation to others. This way they can learn from our experiment.
