Growing kūmara in water experiment

Observing how a kūmara grows in water provides children with an engaging way to understand plant growth and develop their scientific thinking. They begin by making predictions, using prior knowledge to guess what might happen, such as whether roots or leaves will appear first. Through careful observation, children note changes like roots growing downward, leaves sprouting, or how the kūmara responds to sunlight. This process fosters curiosity and encourages discussions about why plants need water and light to grow. As they watch these changes unfold over time, children deepen their understanding of the natural world and the essential elements of plant life.
