Our Garden Scientists are about to launch a never-before-tried experiment! Instead of just planting seeds and waiting, they’ll be adding a little zap of electricity (1.5 volts, like a tiny battery) right into the soil.
For the next 2–3 weeks, they’ll be watching closely, writing down what they see, and collecting data. Then comes the exciting part—analyzing what really happened and discovering the results! 🔬✨
Ms. Noble says no students have ever done this before… so this team is about to make garden history! 🚀🌱 @ptc.rescue @rescueunionsd #seeds #scienceexperiment #tinygreenthumbs #schoolgarden #gardens #soil #electricity
