We discussed what plants need to grow and then gave our seeds everything they needed: soil, water, warmth and sunlight. But... We didn’t stop there! We planted three extra sunflowers for a Science investigation: - One without sunlight - One without warmth - One without water We will be observing carefully to see what happens when a plant doesn’t get the right conditions. The children made fantastic predictions and can’t wait to see which plants grow strong - and which might struggle!
