We kicked off our super science this half term by identifying and describing plants in the world around us. Lions and Panthers used their Forest time to find and take photos of plants. They carefully hunted down roots, branches, bark, stems, buds, flowers and leaves in our school environment.
We looked at different types of seeds and predicted what type of plant they would grow into. After that, we planted our own runner bean seeds to observe over time. We used see-through cups because we wanted to be able to see the roots and the growing process really well.
We have been documenting our bean’s progress in a plant diary.
How you can help at home:
Discuss the differences between plants and trees, being careful to use the correct vocabulary of course! For example. Does a tree have a stem? Or does a plant have a trunk?
Try your hand at gathering data from nature and presenting it in your own table.
Use a paper plate and some pegs to collect different types of leaves from the trees where you live.
