Experiment⭐ 30 XPPlant Life Cycle: From Seed to Flower (Part 3)
Thermodynamics.
🎯 Your mission
Predict it first. Then prove yourself right (or wrong).
⚡ The twist
Nature loves to surprise the careful watcher.
Mind = Blown
🔬 The more you look, the more nature shows you.
Make a hypothesis first
Before you start: write down what you think will happen, and why.
What You'll Learn
Pollination happens when pollen moves from one flower to another, often carried by bees, butterflies, or wind. This process allows plants to produce seeds and fruit.

Steps
Read about Thermodynamics and write down three key facts.
Design a controlled experiment: grow plants under different light conditions (full sun, partial shade, no light). Water equally and measure growth daily for one week.
Observe what happens and describe it in detail.
Record your observations in your science journal with measurements and descriptions.
