    This document describes several hands-on science experiments and activities related to photosynthesis and plant growth: 1) A photosynthesis activity where students sort cards with inputs and outputs of photosynthesis into envelopes. 2) A no-prep experiment where students observe which leaves (maple, holly, mystery trees) produce the most bubbles when placed in water, indicating which trees produce more oxygen. 3) The carrot-top experiment where students cut carrot tops, place them in water, and observe for root or leaf growth over a week to understand if a plant can grow from just a carrot top.

    Photosynthesis Activity: Leaf with "in" and "out" envelopes on front and back. Students sort the
    cards into the correct envelope. Water, sunlight and carbon dioxide go IN to the leaves while
    sugar and oxygen are products of photosynthesis so they go OUT.

    How Do Trees Make Oxygen?
    In this tree science experiment, kids can figure out which trees produce the most oxygen.

    We placed the leaves in equal amounts of water (about a cup per leaf). We let the leaves sit in
    the water for one hour. After an hour, we observed which leaves had the most bubbles.

    For eg: The maple leaf had the biggest bubbles, but the reddish mystery leaves from the bush had
    the most bubbles.

    The holly leaves and the mystery tree leave had almost no bubbles

    they must find a solution to a human-created problem, like ozone damage, then they can conduct
    this experiment to determine what kind of trees would be best to plant to reverse ozone damage.
    What you need for the photosynthesis tree experiment

     Small containers of similar size (we used mason jars)


     Several types of leaves (we used leaves from three trees and two bushes)
    Timer
    No-Prep Photosynthesis Experiment for Kids

    This tree science experiment was authored and run entirely by fourth grade students.

    They wanted to know if they could tell what trees in our area produced the most oxygen by
    figuring out which leaves produced the most bubbles in water.

    Creativity: Can a Plant Grow From the Top of a Carrot?


    The carrot-top experiment involves students researching whether a plant can grow and get the nutrients
    needed from a carrot top. Students need four carrots and a shallow container. First, cut off the top of the
    carrot about a half-inch away from the leaves. Carefully cut the leaves off the top, keeping it close to
    the base. Place the carrots in the container with the cut side facing downward and add water to cover
    half the carrot top. Put the container into a well-lit windowsill and observe the carrot tops daily for any
    changes. Use a ruler to measure the growth of leaves or roots out of the tops and record the data in a
    table. Continue the experiment for a week and draw conclusions based on reasons for the growth of
    leaves from the tops. ANSWER: Carrots, the root plant and orange vegetable, cannot be grown from
    planting just the top of the vegetable. But the carrot plant, or what is known as the carrot top, can be
    regrown from harvested carrot tops.
