This week in Year 2, we have been discussing what we think plants and flowers need to survive. We decided that plants need water, sunlight, food and soil. To test this we have started an experiment where we will watch bean seeds grow over time.

To test whether they need sunlight, some have been placed in the sunlight and some have been placed in the dark. We predict that the ones in the sunlight will grow much better than the one in the dark. In addition, we have also planted them in cotton wool to test whether a seed really needs soil to germinate. Year 2 will be checking up on the bean’s progress weekly.
