Question
In which bowl did the seeds sprout? What difference did you see between this bowl and the other bowls?
Solution
Seeds could sprout in bowl 2 only. In bowl 2, the seeds got both air and water Eind hence could sprout. On the other hand, in bowl 1, only water was available and hence the seeds could not sprout. In bowl 3, there was no water and no air and hence seeds could not sprout.
