*Put photosynthesis to the test - plant something! Please don't feel like you have to leave your house, or go buy anything for this. If you have any fruits or vegetables in your house and some dirt outside, you are good to go. If your food doesn't have obvious seeds, research how to plant it. If it has seeds, plant the seeds. If you don't have a pot/planter, think about what you have that can be recycled into a holder for your plant. Be creative! Here is a spot to show me your plant: https://flipgrid.com/b5562371
