This is one of our cool science fair projects that show the strength of growing plants.

What you need for this science fair project:

• A sheet of clear plastic
• A healthy potted plant
• A box of paper clips
• 2 Small boxes just a bit higher than the plant

How to do this cool science fair project:

1. Take your healthy potted plant and place it on a windowsill that gets enough sun.
2. Now you place the two boxes on each side of the plant taking care not to shade the plant.
3. Lay the plastic across the boxes and let it hang down the two sides of the boxes.
4. Make two chains that are identical with the paper clips
5. Lay these chains over the clear plastic so that it hangs down the sides of the boxes.
6. Arrange them evenly and mark their positions on the boxes.
7. Now you care for the plant as normal.
8. Check and mark the positions of the chains from time to time

What has happened?

• Make note of what happens?
• Measure the markings as they move up the boxes.
• Why do the chains move up?

Explanation:

1. This experiment shows us how strong plants are. 
2. As the plant grows it pushes the plastic and thus the chains up. 
3. Now you can see how plants can be so incredibly strong and grow through blocks of cement and why weeds push through the sidewalk cracks to reach the light (Plants need light to stay alive and grow)
