Guest flutter Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Paper, pencil crayons for their own recording. Non-fiction books about growing, gardening etc Sorting trays Pictures of flowers and seeds from magazines Gardening magazines/ seed and flower catalogues Seed packets A velcro board parts of the plant and labels questions Where do these seeds come from? What do they grow into? What do seeds need to help them grow? Does the shoot grow first? Do all plants have flowers? Hope these help. Will try to think of more. flutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you put some cress seeds out tomorrow on moist cotton wool you should see some germination by Thursday. The children could compare these to seeds left on dry cotton wool. You could try putting some dried peas in water on Weds afternoon - the children should notice a big difference in colour and size by Thursday. Try standing some cut flowers in coloured water for the next few days to see where the water goes (I find the school's dafs work really well in diluted red food dye).
