Growing a plant from a seed:

Have you ever grown a plant from a seed? Did you know that you can grow
sprouts from lentils in just a few days?

What will you need?

1. A jar with a wide mouth 2. A square of muslin cloth

3. A rubber band 4. A quarter of a cup of lentils

(not split or in dal form)

What to do?

1. Measure out a cup of lentils. Rinse them in
cool water and leave them in a large bowl

of water overnight.

2. The next morning, strain out the water,
rinse the lentils and strain them again.

3. Take a large jar and fill it 1/3 full with

lentils. This leaves space for growth.

4. Cover the opening of the jar with muslin
cloth. Secure it with the rubber band.

Place it on its side in a warm, light place.

Mountain Mona is a funny story about a goat which doesn’t think she is good at
anything except growing flowers. Then she meets a lion who tells her why she isn’t
quite like other goats.
