☀️ Can plants tell where the light is? 🌱

Plants can't move around like animals, but they can grow toward light. You can test this yourself with a plant at home! 🧪 What you'll need * 🌱 A small potted plant * 📦 A cardboard box * ✂️ Scissors * ☀️ A sunny window * 📏 A ruler 🔬 Try it at home! 1. Make the box Cut a small hole in one side of the cardboard box. 2. Add the plant Put the plant inside the box. Make sure the hole is facing a sunny window. 3. Wait Leave the box near the window for 3–5 days. Try not to move it. 4. Check your plant Look at it each day. Is it growing straight, or is it bending toward the hole? 5. Record your results Use a ruler to measure the plant each day and write down what you notice. 👀 What will happen? After a few days, you may see the plant bending toward the light! ☀️🌱 This is called phototropism. It's a plant's way of responding to light as it grows.
