What do plants need to grow?
Check out our thoughts and ideas about what plants need to grow. We can’t wait to plant soon and get our projects growing in the greenhouse!
The Photosynthesis cycle shows the things plants need to grow. Let’s try making the cycle in Scratch to show what you know!
Also, if you want to test out this simulation lab, it will show you an experiment using different colours of light and how it affects different plant’s growth.

What is your favourite activity so far that we have done with golf? What are you looking forward to?
Plants Brainstorm
We are getting ready to choose the plants we each would like to grow in our greenhouse! Before we make our choices, we decided to have a brainstorm session on plants that grow in our area. It was helpful to think about the plants that grow in our gardens and what we can buy at our farmer’s market. Next, we organized those plants into categories. After that, we surveyed some of the classes in our school to compare different ways we use plants. This information will help us create wonders and experiments for our plant investigations.
Which plant are you thinking about growing in our greenhouse?
What question do you have about your plant or other plants?
Little Drummer Boys and Girls
