Scholastic’s fun “Root Race” interactive activity challenges students to race against a clock and “grow” a root vegetable by reading its visual cues and then giving it just the right amounts of water, air, and food. If students don’t choose wisely, their vegetables shrink in size.

Audio and cute illustrations make this online activity especially appealing.
