Twigs in a vase

Children watch buds open on twigs in a warm classroom.

Steps

1. On a walk, collect a few twigs of forsythia, willow or birch.
2. Put them in a vase of water in a warm place.
3. Every day, children draw what has changed.
4. After a week, compare the drawings.

Tip: Cut the twigs at an angle with sharp secateurs so they drink water better.

Materials needed
