Building a garden system
We are starting a new unit called 'Building a garden system'.
We will work through a series of lessons to discuss what features make a functioning vegetable graden system. We will work on activites inside and outside the classroom to learn about garden systems.
Friday 21st October
Today we talked about spacing and positioning when designing a vegetable garden. We looked at our vegetable garden at school to see spacing and positioning IN ACTION!

Our bean seed experiment
Date of experiment: Wednesday 19th October, 2011
Today we planted our seeds in cotton wool buds soaked in water. We are going to observe our bean seeds over time to see how they grow and to see whether seeds are infact alive.

Date: Monday 24th October, 2011
We checked on our seeds today to see whether they had made any progress. Some had sprouted and grown roots, others had only grown small roots. We recorded a labelled diagram of our bean seeds and wrote what we saw, felt and smelt.
Date: Wednesday 26th October, 2011
Today we observed our bean seed experiments again. Some have grown out of the top of the cups and others are still beginning to sprout. We made entries into our Science books about the growth of the bean seed, the smell of the bean seeds and the different colours in our bean seeds. Many peoples have grown above the rim of the cup whilst others are still growing.

LIVING AND NON LIVING THINGS
REASONS WHY WE THINK THEY ARE LIVING
- seeds get food from the soil
- seeds need water to grow
- seeds grow
- seeds need water and air to stay alive
- a plant grows from a seed; for something to grow it needs to be living
REASONS WHY WE THINK THEY ARE NOT LIVING
- because they do not move
- they can't breathe underground
REASONS WHY WE ARE UNSURE
- plants only move because of the wind
- the sun can't get to the seed under the soil
