Does the amount of seeds affect the growth of a plant?

Last Friday, Year 3 set up a test to see whether the amount of seeds in one pot affects the growth of a plant and more specifically a sunflower!

What are we measuring?

We are measuring the height of the plants in centimetres every week.

What are we keeping the same?

We are keeping the size of the pots, the amount we water them and conditions (windowsill) the same.

What are we changing?

We are changing the amount seeds in each pot: 1, 2, 4 and 8 seeds per pot.

We went out in the sun to plant these and to plant our own individual sunflower seeds too!

The children will measure how these grow over the weeks and take them home.

Check back here every week to see updates!
