Look At These Seeds Grow!

Click here to go to Wonderopolis to see some seeds growing


The seeds grew really fast and the roots were wiggling at the bottom.   By Oli

It was cool watching the seeds movie because they grew really fast!   By Coredae

The plants were so fast at growing in the video and I really liked it because it was amazing.
By Kaitlyn

The seeds were so fast at growing. The sprouts were growing fast and so were the roots. The roots looked like tiny little worms! By Leland

Seeds Experiments


Leland
Do you know  what seeds need to grow?

This term we have been doing some science experiments and thinking about how seeds grow.

Tuia
We gave one seed water, sun and soil to grow.

 
Oriah
I see great big green leaves and a bright green stem.

Kaitlyn
I think it will grow big and get healthier because it has everything it needs.

Brooklyn
I wonder why it needs soil and sun and water?




Shayne
Can a seed grow without water?

We gave one seed just sun and soil to grow and….. NO WATER!

 
Naina
I see nothing. I see soil. 
Oliver
I think the seed needs sun. I think it needs soil and water too.
Kayce
I wonder if it’s not going to grow at all or if it’s going to grow later?



Ashton
Can a seed grow without soil?


We gave one seed just water and sun and ….NO SOIL!

Ryley
I see a seed with a little sprout and a root growing out and the root has a black end.
Dylan
I think the water is like milk and the seed is like a baby. I think the seed is sucking up the water like when a baby drinks milk.
James
I wonder why the seed’s skin is coming off  ?
I wonder what plants are for?


Oli

Can a seed grow without sun?


We gave one seed just soil and water and…. NO SUN!

Coredae

I see a tall white sprout and really small yellow leaves at the top of the sprout.

Rylan

I think the plant is a little sick because it is so pale and it needs some sun.

Alex

I wonder how the seed knows it’s dark when we put it in the cupboard?




Our Assembly Item - Seeds

We have been learning about cycles and looking at the plant life cycle.
We have been doing our own science experiments to work out what seeds need to grow.

SOLO helped us with our thinking skills and we used the model:

I See......
I Think.......
I Wonder.......

Last Thursday we had our assembly item and shared with everyone what we have learnt about seeds. Mrs Beach was very proud of us as we were fantastic on stage! Everybody enjoyed our bean dance too!

 Check us out in these very cool movies....








In these movies you can't see our slide show so you will have to go to the Seeds Experiments post.
