Science: Green Fingers

Tuesday 11 May 2021

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!
