Tuesday: Thirsty roots

Rocket wants to help Raven’s plant.

He grabs a big pitcher of water.

"Lots of water will make it grow super fast!" he says.

Raven holds up a hand. "What do you notice about the soil?"

Nova beeps. "Hint: touch the soil first."

The soil is already wet.

Plants need water

Plants need water to grow.

For most plants, roots take in the water.

A plant without water can die.

Too much water can hurt a plant too.

Many plants like water when the soil feels a little dry.
