Find a few seeds in your house-- you’d be surprised how many there might be! Hint: there might be one in something you eat. Take a picture and some notes on the seed. How does it look? Feel? Smell? 

1. Try to dissect (take apart) one of the seeds. What do you see? Compare with this worksheet.

2. With the rest of the seeds, a small container, a paper towel and some plastic wrap. Wet the paper towel and put it in bottom of the container. Put the seeds on the paper towel and cover the container with the plastic. Leave the container somewhere warm but not too sunny. Check on it each day -- see if it will sprout! Take pictures and add to the virtual garden!
