In  science this week we have been experimenting on which liquid will make the sunflower grow best . To make the experiment fair every group chose 6 liquids (all different) and put them in a paper towel (in a cup) and labeled them . The liquids used were Water , coke , lemon juice , tea ,apple juice ,coffee,soapy water , salt water , sugar water ,  sparkling water and vinager. We have to wait a while for them to grow but then every now and then we must check on them to make sure they are not going dry . If our liquid dissolves we must fill it up with the same liquid of what we started with . You could even try this experiment at home (if you have the right recorces ) !

Today in science we have been doing an experiment on growth of plants ( in this case a sunflower) from different liquids. Such as  Water,Sparkling Water,Tea,Coffee and apple juice. We put a sunflower seed into a paper towel  and then we put it into a plastic cup.

Triangulum have been doing some science about plant life cycles.

Recently, in science we have been doing an experiment about liquids, and which sunflower seed will grow better than others in a variety of liquids. We are waiting to see which one will grow and which one will not. Here are some of the liquids we have used: tea, water, salty water, juice and much more! Before we put the liquids in the cup, we used a paper towel that was put in, hiding the sunflower seed. We can’t wait to see the results!
