Miss Hodge made a final visit to school last Wednesday to review our plant investigations. She was impressed with our results and how well we had recorded what had happened through observations and graphs.
The aim of our group was to see how light would affect the growth and development of the plants. We had some plants under a heat lamp for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours. Some plants were exposed to natural sunlight. The plants didn't grow very well so we need to think about what we would do differently next time.

For the past 10 weeks we have been looking after a set of 4 plants. We have enjoyed many experiences. We have watered our plants and measured their growth. We had a different amount of worms in each pot. Our plants started to die after the first few weeks. We feel we needed to be more responsible. Some of the lettuce leaves were being eaten by the worms.

After 10 weeks our plants didn't grow that much. The garden soil and gravel were the only 2 soils that helped the plants grow. I think our plants didn't grow much because the pots they were in didn't have holes in the bottom. There was a lot of rain over 2 weekends and the pots filled with water. If we could change our experiment we would change the size and type of pots.

We enjoyed our investigation and learnt a lot from it. Thank you Miss Hodge for all your help and support.
