This investigation is very simple but fascinating. Did you know you can grow a bean in a jar with just a little water?
How to grow a bean in a jar
What you need
A broad bean seed
Jar
Kitchen roll or a napkin
Water
Instructions
Swirl a small amount of water around the jar.
Fold your napkin or kitchen roll and place in the jar. ( we made the kitchen roll very slightly damp also )
Place the bean seed in the jar resting on the napkin.
Spray some water on the bean every few days.
The bean should start to grow roots after a few days, this is called germination.
