Planting In Year 2
In Science, we have been looking at plants. Last week, we planted some beans using 'hydroponics'. The children enjoyed creating their green house using zip lock bags and have been watching how their beans change each day.
We discussed what conditions plants need to grow and have been practicing using the correct vocabulary for the different parts of the plants.
After observing the plants all week, we noticed that they were soon outgrowing their bags! We decided to plant some outside so that we could continue to watch them grow. Some children even decided to measure their bean plants and drew tables to keep track of how much taller they grow each week. A great way to practice measuring in standard units!
Year 2 will be professional gardeners in no time! Keep a look out for some more of our science activities this half term.
