15-20min Balancing Chemical Reactions Quiz.

10min Grow-A-Plant Project.

Objective: To document your plant growing and thriving for 10 days after it sprouts from the soil.
1. Place a seed into soil. Provide light and water. 
2. Monitor the amount of water in the soil. (It should be damp not dry or wet.)
3. Once the plant sprouts, take a picture every day from the same angle and distance for 10 days. Your hand must be in it to indicate the number of days in sign language. 
4. Continue caring for your plant and keep it healthy.
5. After ten days. Turn in your time lapse/stop-motion animation (or picture slideshow - 1 picture per slide).
If your plant dies, stops growing, or starts dying before the 10 days. Start again.
Note: You only get three tries and you can only grow the plant given to you.
