Wednesday's Avocado Document 🥑🥑🥑

Due to a virus called COVID-19, I have been doing homeschooling.

Today for science, I have been learning how to grow avocado seeds by growing my own. For technology, I  am making a blog about HOW you grow avocado seeds! (yes this blog).

STEPS:
  1. First, to grow an avocado seed you need: 1 plastic cup for each seed you have, a pair of scissors, 1 barbecue stick for every seeds you have, water, seeds (as many as you like).
  2. Once you have all that, measure the sticks and cut them so that they are about the size of the mouth of the cup and no shorter.
  3. If your seeds feel crunchy, like you can just peel the skin off  then you can peel it off. If not, that's okay, you don't have to peel off the skin. It just takes longer to grow.
  4. Look for a line that goes around the seed starting from top.
  5. Next, take 2 cut sticks and use a drilling technique to put the sticks in the seed, 1 stick on each side and make sure to put it on the opposite side of the line! (if the seed is very heavy and big you can add 3 sticks).
  6. After, hang the avocado seed by the sticks in the cup.
  7. Fill the cup with water until only half the seed is in the water.
  8. Put it in the sun on a windowsill or any place sunny.
  9. Repeat steps 1-8 to make more.                        
If you wanna keep the FUN ðŸ˜› going a little longer here are some FUN facts about these seeds🥑:
  • When you grow an avocado seed the roots are never the same
  • Avocado seeds are usually different sizes
  • Avocado's are a fruit not a vegetable
  • Avocado trees need other avocado trees near by to grow
  • Avocado's are rich in nutrition and good for fighting cancer
  • Avocado seeds can be poisonous to humans when consumed
