Observing Life: Simple Experiments

Hands-On Science

You can learn a lot about life science by observing the world around you and doing simple experiments. These activities help you see how living things grow, change, and interact.

Fun Activities

  • Grow a plant from a seed and record its growth.
  • Observe mold growing on bread to see how fungi live and spread.

Why Do Experiments?

Experiments help us answer questions and discover new things about living organisms and their environments.

Examples

  • Growing bean plants in different amounts of sunlight to see which grows best.

  • Comparing the growth of yeast in sugar water and plain water.
