Science Week
This years Science week theme has been Growth.
Each class has been given 4 sunflower seeds.
All classes planned and begin their investigation during the week. We will compare results at the end of the Summer Term.
Challenges are;
Nursery and Reception
Can you plant the seeds and look after them?
How should you look after them? What will they need?

Investigate why seeds need soil.
Year 2
Which conditions will be best for growing your sunflower seeds?
Investigate: seeds and bulbs germinate and grow into seedlings and they need light to do so.
Year 3
Will the size of the pot effect how a sunflower grows?
Plants need certain things to grow: air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow). These vary from plant to plant.
Year 4
Investigate if temperature effects growth.
Set up simple and practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests.
Year 5
Investigate if different types of soil effect how a plant grows.
With prompting, recognise and control variables where necessary.
Year 6
Investigate if plants grow better with fertiliser in the soil.
Plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions
