🌱 How Potatoes Grow Mini-Lab

Through a hands-on mini-lesson, students handle a seed potato, examine roots and sprouts, and sequence picture cards of the potato life cycle (tuber → sprout → plant → flower → harvest). The teacher models how scientists turn a wondering into a testable question about one variable (water or light). In pairs, students practice sorting sample questions into “testable in our classroom” or “not testable here,” using movement to place cards in labeled hoops.
