Super Scientists in Year 3
This week, our Year 3 scientists turned the classroom into a living laboratory as they kicked off an exciting new investigation! To dive deeper into how plants compete for resources, we are tackling the big question: "Does the number of seeds within one plant pot affect the growth of the plants?"
Each child has carefully planted their sunflower seeds, with some pots housing a single seed and others containing a small cluster. Over the next four weeks, the children will take on the role of dedicated researchers—observing, measuring, and recording the height and health of their sprouts. It’s a fantastic way for them to practice fair testing and data collection. We can’t wait to see which sunflowers reach for the sky first and what this teaches us about the space and nutrients plants need to thrive!
