The Science Garden

In this gentle introduction to plant behavior, Ms. Rosa leads her class into a science garden where flowers and bees fill the air. Leo brings a magnifying glass, Maya readies her notebook, and Sam stomps through puddles in his red boots. Ms. Rosa, in her green apron, invites the children to explore how plants react to their surroundings.

The children encounter moonflowers that stay shut by day, sunflowers that track the light, and bell-shaped blooms that sway to Sam's drumming. Leo's flashlight fails to open the moonflowers, but Maya records every outcome. Sam waters a wilting plant and sees it revive, and the class learns the term phototropism. When a flower quivers unexpectedly, they realize the garden still holds mysteries. Written by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, this tale can be read on Online Masal and shows young readers that patience and observation are key to science.
