Ms Hodge, an Agricultural Scientist, visited Room 9 again on Wednesday morning. We had prepared our investigations to see what might affect the growth of plants.
We have split into 4 groups, each with a different aim.
One group will be looking at the affect of the amount of light given to the plants. The second group will be looking at whether the amount of water will change the growth of the plant. The third group will be investigating the varieties of soil and how they may increase the growth rate of the plant. The final group will be looking at how worms may help or hinder the growth of their plants.
It will be interesting for us to observe the changes over the coming weeks and keep recordings of the results. We will be able to demonstrate a sense of responsibility to ensure our investigations are fair and accurate.
We will be taking photos and creating graphs to compare what is happening to the spinach and lettuce which we are growing. If everything works out well, we look forward to the taste test at the end of the experiment.
This will be a great experience for our collaborative learning teams and we would like to thank Ms Hodge for sharing her expertise and advice. Also, thanks to Mr Sanderson for organising the event and for preparing the materials needed for each group.
