He collects the seeds, fruits, and vegetable peels into a clay pot (physical change/ chemical change).

After a few days, he notices that the seeds begin to germinate and small plants start to grow, eventually blooming into colourful flowers (physical change/chemical change). His efforts are appreciated by all his family members.
