Do Plants Breathe? Experiment
I really like this experiment, because it shows children that plants are living, breathing organisms. And it’s simple!
Take your child outside to pick an active leaf from a tree, and then submerge it in water. At this point tiny bubbles will form along the surface of the leaf, showing kids that leaves are breathing just like humans!
Bonus:
After this they can turn the leaf into an art project by making a leaf rubbing with crayons and a sheet of paper!
