This half term, Year 3 have been busy becoming biologists in our Plants unit! We have planted sunflowers to investigate Does the number of seeds planted affect the rate of growth?
As scientists, we are observing changes over time and carefully recording what we notice. We are measuring the height of each plant, the amount of water added and the mass of soil in each pot. To make our investigation fair, we are changing only one thing- the number of seeds in each pot. We are keeping everything else the same, including the type of seed and the light source.
We are really enjoying watching our sunflowers grow and spotting any differences between them!
How you can help at home:
Ask your child about their investigation. What have they observed so far? Have they noticed anything surprising or new?
We can’t wait to share our results with you soon!
