Science Investigation! What do plants need to grow?
Posted: Jun 18, 2017 by: Teachers (BishopTeachers) on: What's been happening in Adventurers & Investigators.
In both classes we have been carrying out an investigation to see what plants need to grow.
Our big questions was:
Do all plants need soil to grow?
We discovered that our beans didn't! But they definitely needed water. We were left wondering how long the beans would carry on growing without soil. What do you think?
We made a few mistakes along the way, but it didn't matter as we learnt from it! One group forgot to put a bean in the soil! One of the beans that we weren't meant to water got left outside in the rain.Someone had the idea that we could use a slow motion camera to film the bean growing.
