Year 2 Science

In Science, Year 2 students are studying living things and have been learning about how both animals and plants change and grow through their lifecycle. Students have conducted their own experiment of growing alfalfa seeds using the scientific model which included describing their aim, a hypothesis and the materials and method used. Every day over the last two weeks, students have enthusiastically watered their plants and jostled for the prime window-sill position to help their plants grow larger.  They have learnt how to be a scientist by observing their plants and reporting on its growth in their Science books. These results show the observable patterns of a plant and help students to describe and communicate a plant’s features throughout its life. After this experiment, students will take their plant home to continue its growth, or perhaps eat the sprouts for dinner!
