By engaging in hands-on planting, children experience embodied cognition, connecting physical actions with biological processes. This interaction reduces cognitive load, allowing them to focus on the significant changes seeds undergo during sprouting.
1. Gather 5 small seeds (like mustard or moong dal) and a small cup. 2. Fill the cup with soil until it's nearly full. 3. Plant the seeds about 1 cm apart in the soil. 4. Water the soil gently until it's moist but not soggy. 5. Place the cup in a sunny spot and observe daily. 6. Draw or write about the changes you see each day.
