Using a new dixie cup, fill it up a little less than ¼ with water, and pour that water on your lima bean plant... We will do this once a day, until they start to grow! Since it is starting to get cold outside we will use the heat from a lamp to keep our plants nice and warm and lit up. Table of Contents

You are also to keep a daily journal explaining what you have done to help this seed grow into a plant.

Also in your journals, you can write about any changes you may have observed throughout this whole process!! Table of Contents
