Science Week - Planting seeds

15th Nov 2021

We decided to plant some seeds and see how they grow....Plants need water, air and sunlight to grow!                    Each girl carried out her own experiment

  • We collected 'helicopters' from the sycamore tree in the school grounds
  • We took a seed from the end of each 'helicopter'
  • We placed 3 or 4 seeds on a piece of kitchen roll
  • We sprayed the piece with water
  • We folded the piece of kitchen roll in two and placed it in a ziploc bag
  • We closed the bag but left a little space open at one end, to let in some air
  • We then placed the bags on the window sill to catch the sunshine 

We hope that the seeds will begin to grow and that we will see a root appear soon. We will let you know when that happens..... the photos will show you our work!
