INVESTIGATING PLANTS

We are investigating a problem in our classroom: our plants are not growing as we expected!

The most important part of research is asking questions before you investigate. Ishanvi, Grace and Chloe have recorded their questions here:

Ishanvi, Grace and Chloe then used some library books to help with their questioning. These library books were very useful:

  • The Gardening Book by Jane Bull. J635BUL
  • Cool Stuff the Grow by Stephanie Turnbull. J635TUR
  • Rocks and Soil by Peter Riley. J552RIL
  • Grow It Eat It J635GRO

Here are some photos from the books. Can you read the pages to research the answer to our problem?

Have you got a question which will help us with our research thinking? Write it in the comments below.
