This half term our science unit is ‘Nature Library’ in this unit we will be learning all about our surroundings. This week we kick started our learning by conducting a scientific experiment.
Enquiry question: What effect does fertiliser have on the growth of Radish seeds?
Below is a video showcasing children in Six Red conducting the experiment.
Recap: Under which conditions do seeds germinate?
Main Task: Write a scientific prediction sharing what effect you think the fertiliser will have on the radish growth (Do you think the more fertiliser the better growth?) (Do you think fertiliser is a myth and it will have no effect on the growth of radish?)
Challenge: Fertiliser research (What is fertiliser? Why is it used? How many types are there? How does it support or prevent plant growth?)
Key Vocabulary: radish, germination, photosynthesis, growth, experiment, soil, fertiliser pellets, larger, greener, tastier.
