We learnt before- what are the seven features of a living thing? The 7 life process are movement, respiration, growth, reproduction,excretion, nutrition and sensitivity. Plants do all 7 of these things. Plants need certain conditions to help them grow well.
Have you ever looked after a plant? What will happen if you took away one of the things a plant needs to grow? Will it grow if locked in a dark cupboard? Will it grow without water?
Plan an experiment where you can test out your ideas. Could you plant seeds in different areas? Over the next two days you will be planning your investigation. Day 1: Write down your investigative questions. |
Day 2: Write up your investigation including, a prediction, fair test, what you will measure etc. If you cannot carry this investigation out at home don’t worry- bring your ideas back to school with you next week and we will do it together.
