About This Product
This educational science resource guides students through the four developmental stages of the daikon radish plant. Using clear, real-life photography, children observe the plant's transformation from a tiny round seed to a crisp, elongated white taproot crowned with lush green foliage while building scissor control and logical ordering skills on their researcher recording sheet.
