We planted pea seeds which very rapidly grew into plants (and have now been taken home - whose are still growing, being watered and surviving?). Planted and starting to germinate with a small shoot after just a few days! Lucas V very kindly also brought in some wildflower seeds in a kit from home to share with the class (in the bag in the photos). The sunflowers are still thriving
The shoots grew in length, they grew upwards and turned green. Why? How?
One of these plants (below) was kept outside in the sun all of the time. One of them was kept in the classroom. Can you tell which one? What has happened to it? Why do you think this has happened?
Here are the plants a little larger now. Look at the roots (below, right). What does the plant use them for?
