Do plants need water and light to grow?
Last week we set up an investigation to see if plants need water and light to grow. We decided to use cress. Pot 1 had light and water. Pot 2 had light but no water and Pot 3 had water but no light.
The children used their observational skills to make a conclusion.

 
Darcy's conclusion


                                                                 Jakes's conclusion
The children were surprised that the cress in Pot 3 did grow, but it was brown. They wouldn't like to eat it!
They all agreed that healthy plants need water and light.
