Grow Your Own Plants!

The video tutorial explains the basic needs of plants: water, soil, and sunlight, and introduces photosynthesis. It sets up an experiment to observe plant growth under different conditions by varying these needs. The experiment involves growing four plants, each missing one essential element, to see how they fare. The video provides a detailed list of materials and step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment, including marking cups, planting seeds, and observing changes over time.
