About This Product
This educational science resource guides students through the four developmental stages of the potato plant. Using clear, real-life photography, children observe the plant's transformation from a sprouting seed potato to a full-grown plant developing new subterranean tubers while building scissor control and logical ordering skills on their researcher recording sheet.

Topics Included in This Pack

• Tuber Sprouting: Initial observation phase showing dormant eyes on a seed potato breaking dormancy and producing thick purple or green sprouts.
• Germination: Early subterranean rooting and tender leafy shoots emerging upward through the soil line.
• Young Plant: Rapid vegetative development showing lush compound green leaves, sturdy upright stems, and early stolon formation beneath the earth.
• Mature Plant: Fully formed bushy plant bearing small white or violet blossoms while clusters of new harvest-ready potatoes swell underground.

What is Included
