What do plants need to grow?

This term we are looking at making things grow through hands on science. We decided that to grow plants there are certain needs and wants just like we have certain needs and wants.

Here is a song Mrs Head found about the needs of a plant. We are going to test these needs out to see if plants really NEED all five of these things.

  1. Great video Room 9! It has a catchy tune to help remember the five things plants need to stay alive.
    I look forward to your tests to see if plants really NEED these things to stay alive!
