What do plants need in order to start growing? by Angus and Sofia

We decided to see if a seed needs water, light and soil to grow so we got six glass jars some soil, paper towels  and a tin to keep out light.  We left the seeds for a week and these were the results.


The one with no water didn’t grow at all because seeds need water to grow.


The seed with no light grew because seeds don’t need light to start growing.



The one with no soil grew because seeds don’t need soil to start growing. 



 We compared them with seeds that had water, soil and light. These were the ‘control’ seeds. They started growing a little.




All in all it was a fun experiment and all the class enjoyed it.

  8. Doing this experiment was so much fun. I was in the sunshine group (Does a plant need sunshine to grow.) and surprisingly it doesn't well to start growing. We learnt that a seed doesn't need sunshine or soil to start growing but once it uses all the energy from the seed it will need sunshine and soil to grow. This is called germination. I learnt so much doing this experiment it was really interesting and I hope we do something similar in the near future. Daisy

  9. Hi everyone I had fun doing the what do plants need in order to start growing we learned that a seed needs water to grow we tested if only water and light could make it grow and it did then we tested if only soil and water could make it grow and it did but when we tried only soil and light it did not grow but it was still fun Darby

  11. Hi everyone I am really enjoying our experement on what do plants need to start growing and what they need to grow.My group is the group testing if plants need soil to grow .So far we have found out that a plant dose not need soil to start growing.Other groups have been testing if a plant needs light and if a plant needs water to grow the results have been a plant does not need light to start growing and a plant needs water to start growing.In our experement we have found out a plant needs water but not light or soil

  13. Hi class 5,
    In our class we are doing an experiment with a broad been. In my group we are seeing if the broad been can grow without water and we found out it cant because it needs water to grow.

  22. Hi class five we are doing an experiment in class to see if a broad bean can start growing without some of the things it needs. For example I am in the group that is finding if a broad bean can start growing without soil. We have found out that it can start growing without soil. Has your one started grow if your doing the experiment.
