You will need: * adhesive tape * beans * matte black paint * cardboard * shoebox * flowerpot * potting compost * paintbrush * scissors
				Cut out two identical pieces of cardboard,as deep as the box is, and two thirds as wide. Cut a small hole in one end of the shoebox. Paint the inside of the box and and the pieces of cardboard the color black. Using the tape that you have, attach the cardboard to the inside of the box. Stand the box upright with the the hole at the top. Plant a bean in the flowerpot. Water the soil and place the pot in the bottom of the box. Fit the lid on the box,making sure that no light can get in around the edges. Remove the lid once a day to watch the plant growing. How well can it find its way to the light? What happens if you plant another bean and this time closed the hole? Do it at home and find out!
