To celebrate Science Week, Year 4 students have been investigating the earth\u2019s environment through a hands-on plant-growing experiment. Each student has created a mini biome using a zip-lock bag, cotton wool and a broad bean seed. Over two weeks, they\u2019re applying the seven-step scientific method: observing, questioning, hypothesising, testing, analysing, recording and concluding to track their plant\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are keeping detailed observation journals, recording daily changes with drawings, measurements, labels and photos. This project is helping them understand how environments support life and how scientists use evidence to answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a great way to connect Science and Geography while encouraging curiosity and independent thinking. We\u2019re excited to see how their beans grow \u2013 and what conclusions they draw from their experiments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
