Tomato Observation Journal: Start a small journal to observe tomatoes over a week. Ask an adult to help you get a tomato from the store. Each day, draw a picture of the tomato and write down any changes you notice. Is it getting softer? Is the color changing? This will help you understand how tomatoes ripen, just like the ones used in making ketchup!
