We have been learning how to design an experiment this block. We have explored what a fair experiment is, making predictions and recording what happens.

We grew cress seeds in different conditions to find out what healthy plants need to grow. We were surprised to discover that the seeds we grew in the dark grew the fastest but they didn’t look very healthy or nice to eat!

Our next step is to use what we learned from our cress growing experiment to help us design and plan our own bean growing experiment.
