Predict it first. Then prove yourself right (or wrong).

Mind = Blown
🌳 Trees can talk to each other through underground fungus networks.
Make a hypothesis first
Predict: what will happen to the plant if you change the water?
What You'll Learn
Seeds travel in different ways: wind blows dandelion seeds, birds carry berries, and burrs stick to animal fur!
