2. For your experiment you will need:
- Dampen paper towel with spray bottle.
- Place wet paper towel in Ziploc Bag.
- Place bean on top of wet paper towel.
- Close Ziploc Bag.
- Place Ziploc Bag in a warm, sunny spot.
- Add water to paper towel when it dries out.
- Observe your plant growing in 3-5 days!
