a clear plastic cup paper towels seeds construction paper water	Make a Seed Viewer Detective Le Plant wants us to test his theories about seeds. Let's grow a seed in a plastic cup to see if he's correct!
		Label your viewer Write your name, the type of seed and the date of planting on the bottom of the cup.
		Make the viewer Line the inside of the cup with black construction paper. Crumple up some paper towels, one at a time, and fill the cup inside the construction paper with them. Cut the top edge of the construction paper so it is even with the top of the cup.
		Plant the seeds Slip each seed between the cup and the construction paper until it is an inch to an inch and one-half below the top edge of the cup. Pour water into the center of the paper towels until the construction paper is wet.
		Watch the miracle! Set the seed viewer on a sunny window sill. Check at the same time each day to see what is happening. Chart the growth and development of the plant. You must keep your paper towel moist for the seeds to germinate and grow properly!
