STUDENT WORKSHEET - Planting Seeds in a Baggy

DIRECTIONS
1. Fold a paper towel so that it fits into the sealable plastic bag.

2. Carefully place a row of seeds across the top of the paper towel. Place a piece of string or thread over the top of the
seeds. Attach the seeds to the towel by stapling the string so that there is a staple on each side of the seeds to hold
them in place (don't staple the seeds).

4. Seal the bag and hang it.
