  2. Growing an avocado seed in water. • We suspended the seed of an avocado in a jar of water using 2 paper clips. After a few days the outer brown skin disintegrated. • Then a small root appeared.

  3. At 3 weeks • After 3 weeks the root was about 3cm long.

  4. At 4 weeks • After 4 weeks the root was 7 cm long. We topped up the water regularly.

  5. At 6 weeks • After 6 weeks the root had reached the bottom of the jar and a green shoot had appeared.

  6. At 7 weeks • After 7 weeks the jar was too small and the root began to turn upwards.At this point we decided to place it in a pot.

  7. At 10 weeks • After 10 weeks we had a plant 30cm high.
