Year 2 have been investigating what plants need to grow. Each child picked one the of the three enquiry questions to investigate:
Do plants need sunlight to grow?
Do plants need soil to grow?
Do plants need to water to grow?
Each child grew cress seeds in two conditions to compare results. We made predictions about what we thought might happen to the cress seeds in each condition. We discussed how we could make the test fair and what we needed to change/keep the same. The results shocked some children, as they were surprised that the cress seeds without soil and without sunlight still managed to grow! However, we noticed that the cress in these conditions did not look as healthy.
