We have a science focus of 'living things' this year, so we decided to learn about sunflowers. Last week we planted our own seeds into a clear plastic cup so we can see the germination process. We learnt about soil and nutrients, how deep to plant the seed and how much water to give it. We also have planted seeds that we will give no water, and some seeds that will get no sunlight so we can see what happens to those seeds and compare them to our own that get what they need to live.
Then we learnt about what happens to the seed once it is planted - the germination process, so the students are eagerly awaiting to see the roots in the bottom of their cup. We read a book about the life cycle of the sunflower and then did an activity so we could all recall the process and put the steps into the right order.
