On our trip to Satrosphere/ Cruickshank Botanic Gardens – We had a Bug Show and Tell, we handled – stick insects and giant African Land Snails, we stroked Train Millipede and saw Death Head Cockroaches and enjoyed ‘Science on the Spot’.  Bed of Nails – Greg (the Explainer) lay on a bed of nails,  Orla stood on top of him.  At the Gardens we were shown round by Mark Paterson (Curator)  We had a plant treasure hunt and collected -soil, leaves, bark and flowers, a bouquet for the Queen. 

Our Experiment – finding the effects of fertiliser on radish seeds we were surprised to find that the water only grew best.  We planted 25 seeds – watered only 24, fertiliser 21 – week 2 – 19, week 3 -23 with strong fertiliser 9.  Our Geranium has proved that plants CAN move because now all its leaves are facing the sun.           We are looking forward to the holidays!!!!!
