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!!!!!
Loved reading about your outing last week to Satrosphere and Cruickshank botanic gardens!!!! Interesting that plants can move, facing the sun does feel better, nice and warm!
