In Science, Year 6 has been examining how the environment affects the growth, survival and adaptation of living things. They recently focused on how plants respond when the amount of sunlight or water is altered. Each group was required to test the abiotic conditions for growing alfalfa seeds, using one of the following independent variables: <\/strong>Standard, Too dry, Too wet, Too cold, Too hot, Too salty, Too dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls monitored and cared for their plants each day, over a two-week period. They logged their observations and data, and evaluated their investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experiment informs the next steps in student learning, where students identify authentic examples of plant adaptations to their habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
