My comment:

Firstly we learnt about germination. I didn’t even though what this word was!! Riya said that plants couldn’t grow without soil so we did an experiment growing seeds in a bag with tissue. We did observations on this every day and drew diagrams. We watched a timelapse- youtube video, to break down all the steps in germination. In another experiment we covered the seeds with a black piece of paper to keep the sunlight out. But the beans still germinated! We then wrote an explanation about this.

You have been a keen scientist this term Cruze. You have learnt by exploring, experimenting, observing, comparing and contrasting and by researching and asking. You can experiment every day at home and school.
