4. Begin Plant Lab: You will need your seeds, a 4 inch pot, and soil. If you'd like to make a newspaper pot, which you can plant directly into the ground later this spring, watch this youtube video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dlGQP81yfo If you are having problems making your pot, ask for help from someone in your family! I also have a hint in the video below for the trickiest part.

| Pot on left made with newspaper (plant 5 seeds in one pot). Pot on right made with notebook paper (make 2 pots and plant 3 seeds in each). |
Next, watch this video with instructions on how to plant your seeds and what to include in your data collection: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYfYDPzL81
