Digital and Distance Learning Approved. This is a great way to get students to use the scientific method at home. The supplies are common household items that can be modified. The files are PDF but come with a pre-created Easel by TpT overlay. We added text boxes and tips for completing it online. Click "Open in Easel" on each product page to get started. They can be added to your Google Classroom as an assignment. Students can also print and complete it. A science lab teacher can also assign all the grade levels, which allows families to conduct the experiment together. If you don't have Google Classroom, you can send the overlay as a link to Google accounts. If that is not possible, use the PDF in a program like Kami extension to create an online version with text boxes. We already did it for you in Easel. You could conduct the experiment as a demo for the students, and then they try it. Get creative!

Students will use different types of paper to model how plants transport water. The upper grades will expand into more detail about vascular and nonvascular plants. Students will follow the scientific method in an age-appropriate format. Students will create a conclusion using their evidence and reasoning. Students will answer the question:

Does the type of paper affect the distance water will travel?
