Do you smell onions?

Onion Plants, photosynthesis, and seeds: yes, science! 5th grade grew onion plants in a home-made greenhouse. Each group was responsible for building a greenhouse with only water bottles and toothpicks. Well, one of our groups’ onion seed grew out of its greenhouse. The students named him Alejandro, and now we have an onion plant in our classroom. The experiment taught students about life science and gravity. It showed how living things need the proper nutrients and environment to live. We also proved that the roots must grow down and the shoots must grow up no matter what position the onion was in.
