This experiment works due to a simple principle: plants need light. Build a shoebox maze and watch the plant work though the obstacle course, searching for sun.

Introduce your child to science with something they see everyday--their shadow!

Why do plants wilt? Kids will learn to think critically about what environmental factors affect plants, and what plants need to survive.

How many steps long is the hallway? Kids put their graph-making skills to work as they make a step map of their own house.

Try this fun garden graphing project with your kindergartener this summer to give him a leg up in math and science while spending some valuable time outdoors!
