Our Experiment is The Perfect Bed

Observation

(Alfredo)

In science class we observed that the roots of a plant are very important because
it holds the plant firm in the soil bed.

Question

(Yulissa)

Can plants grow in a bed that is not soil??? Can a plant grow if it is planted in sand
or in rocks???

We believe that plants can grow in most beds including rocks and sand.
