Monday: What seeds need

Rocket stares at the seed bag.

"Grow faster, beans!" he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice about the towel?"

Nova says, "Seeds need just the right things."

Three things to sprout

When a seed starts to grow, it sprouts.

A seed needs water to sprout.

It needs the right warmth too.

It also needs air.

Some kinds of seeds need light, but many do not.

Keep it damp

Once a seed starts to sprout, it needs water.

A dry towel can harm a sprouting seed.

So keep the towel damp every day.
