Plant Experiments

We've set up various plant experiments to investigate what plants need to stay healthy and grow.
 
The girls decided to investigate the amount of air that each plant receives.
 
Meanwhile, another group began to set up their investigation to see if the colour of the light makes a difference.
 
This group decided to see if the type of soil makes a difference by planting the saplings in sand, stones and paper towel.
 
The boys decided to see whether the amount of water will affect the rate at which the plant grows. So they could calculate how much the plant has grown, they measured each stem at the start of the experiment.
 
 
What are your predictions? What do you think will happen to the plants after a few weeks?

  1. Amy and I are doing one to test the amount of leaves and which one grows fastest. I love our science experiment =-)
