Cress heads




 In Science we have been learning about what plants need to grow and survive.  To provide different contexts to learn this information I provided a range of different plant activities.  We grew cress and wheatgrass from seed in these cress head containers and in a 'cress diary' recorded the plants' progress.  We experimented with growing bean seeds in different conditions after making predictions about the conditions that would be best for germinating the seeds.
We cut out images of things that would help the seeds to germinate and placed these on plant diagrams.

And when the 'cress heads' had grown nice and long we gave them a haircut and sampled them in a sandwich.
