Materials: Small, clear drinking glass/cup; a lima bean; paper towels (enough to loosely pack the cup); spray bottle filled with water
Activity: Loosely pack paper towels in the glass/cup. Place a lima bean between the paper towel and inside of cup. Make sure the lima bean is placed in such a way that you can see it easily. Spray enough water inside the cup to moisten, not soak, the paper towels. Set cup in a sunny area and spay as needed to keep the paper towels moist. Inspect the seed daily to see it start to sprout.
Developing Skills: Observation, early science concepts.
