Experiment set KINDERGARTEN 4 (Plants)
The life of plants
- “How can a flower live without eating any food?”
- “How does a flower suck water up into its petals?”
- “How can a whole plant come from a bean?”
These are the kinds of questions three- to five-year-olds are interested in when you talk to them about plants. The KINDERGARTEN 4 experiment sets allows them to come up with easily understandable answers to these and many other phenomena for themselves. In addition, they carry out impressive experiments to investigate the water permeability of different types of soil, the various functions that roots perform, the water transport system of plants and the swelling and germination of seeds.
The storage case as a tub
The moulded apparatus storage tray in this experiment kit can be lifted out by its handles so that the empty box can be used as a tub for holding water too.
