To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Plants. — These are more easily kept and the observations more easily recorded than in the case of animals. If possible the study of them should be begun from the seed. Let the children gather the seed from the plants in the autumn, see it dried and stored for the winter and begin observation in the springtime. The pea, bean, buckwheat, oat, and cress are suitable. Very interesting studies of acorns sprouted in water have been made in some infant schools. The hyacinth and other bulbs are also v...ery suitable for growth in school. As in the case of animals, the most important feature of the study is a series of regular observations entered in an accurately dated diary, and supplemented by a series of dated sketches. The height of the plant should be measured and recorded daily or at other regular intervals, and the graph of growth thus obtained plotted. It might also be possible to obtain a graph showing the plant's increase in weight. The question of how the growth is affected by the conditions as to light, temperature, moisture and the like should receive constant attention.
