As part of Earth day and Science Hazel class planted some broad beans last week.

We then carried out an experiment, where we removed one or more food source away. Some pupils could only give their bean water, others just light and one pupil decided not to give his water or light. Pupils made predictions about whether or not their bean would grow.

This week we observed the beans to see if they had grown, we made some interesting discoveries.

No sunlight and no water                                No sunlight but can have water                                 Sunlight and water

        sunlight and water                                        sunlight and water                                                 sunlight but no water

Pupils who could water their plants did.

We then filled in our bean diary to record our findings.
