- Glass of water

What You'll Do
- Soak some beans in a glass of water for 3 hours.
- Put the beans on a wet paper towel. Fold the paper towel over the beans.
- Place the beans in the plastic bag and seal. Put the bag in a warm, dark place.
- After 2 to 3 days, roots will appear. If you split open one of the beans, you’ll see the stem and leaves beginning to grow inside.
