Over the course of this school year we have been discussing WANTS and NEEDS in relation to ourselves. We discussed that while you may WANT something that there are actually a few basic NEEDS that are necessary for survival. \u00a0For human beings these are: air, water, food, shelter (including clothing), and we added in ‘love’ (families).<\/p>\n

Students have also been learning about what a plant NEEDS to survive. \u00a0In this experiment we wondered if all of the seeds that a plant produces will grow successfully into a new plant.<\/p>\n

After we had set our baggies of bean seeds on the windows we also planted some flower seeds in soil. \u00a0We looked at how each plant’s seeds look different from each other. \u00a0We have looked at the seeds from: lima beans, green beans, peas, Marigolds, Nasturtiums, Zinnias, grass, and Forget-Me-Nots. \u00a0We noticed that all of the seeds have different shapes, sizes, and colours.<\/p>\n

The seeds from the Forget-Me-Not flower are shaped long and thin; they are also very tiny. \u00a0Students had a difficult time picking them up off the paper towel! \u00a0They were very different from the size and shape of the peas or beans.<\/p>\n

Each student placed several Forget-Me-Not seeds in their flower pot. \u00a0All students’ pots have successfully grown some of these plants; some pots have more seeds growing in them than others.<\/p>\n

Students will be bringing their flower pots home on Thursday. \u00a0Please ensure that they keep them watered. \u00a0They are planted in biodegradable flower pots that you can plant into a larger pot (in soil) or directly into the ground in your garden. \u00a0They should develop with a beautiful blue flower when they are fully mature. \u00a0Enjoy!!<\/p>\n
