Year 1 scientists have been busy planting and observing bulbs and seeds. We began by investigating what a bulb needs to help it to grow into a mature healthy plant. The children set up a test and recorded their findings each week.
I don’t think the bulb with soil, water and light will grow very well.
I wonder if the bulb will survive with just water and light?
Part of being a scientist is being able to observe carefully record the findings.
I found out that a bulb needs soil, water and light to help it to grow into a healthy plant.
We also have another seed experiment on the go. For this one, we have placed a bean onto some wet paper towel and put it inside a plastic bag. Next, we put the bags onto the window and we will watch to see what happens. Ask your child about these pictures.
Finally, Year 1 are also growing their own potatoes. We have been measuring their growth using cubes.
What great gardeners we have in Year 1!
