As part of our Plants topic we decided to plant some seeds so we could watch them grow.  We used old plastic bottles because when we were doing our Under the Sea topic we learned how important it is to re-cycle bottles.

We designed a planter using 3 bottles.  First we look at the design and decided whether it was a good design and whether it was going to give the seeds everything they needed.

We decided it was able to give the seeds sunlight and keep them warm.  We can water the seeds through the holes in the side and water drips down through the holes in the caps.

We got into pairs and helped each other plant the seeds using compost, spades and lettuce seeds.  We chose lettuce seeds because we wanted to be able to taste the plants and maybe even put the lettuce on a sandwich.

We chose a good spot outside our classroom where we can see the seeds growing and we can water them.  It is also a nice sunny spot so the seeds can have lots of sunlight.

We will let you know what happens!
