Science Fair Connection:

Planting and growing plants isn't a science fair project, but if you add in a variable, you can definitely turn the activity into a project. If you isolate a component of the experiment and change it, you've found a variable. When you change a variable you might see drastic changes‚ but then again you might not. That's why they call it experimenting! Here are some examples of variables that you can change to turn Diggin' Dirty Science into an awesome science fair project:

• Try different ratios of Water Jelly Crystals to soil and measure which is the best for growing.
• Test what watering schedule works best.
• Find out what temperature is best for growing your plant.

Those are just a few examples of the variables that you can use. Remember that you must keep all other factors the same. If you're testing different watering schedules, you need to use the same type of plant seed, growing temperature, and Water Jelly Crystal to soil ratio.
