Planting Seeds

Our class has been learning about germination in science. Germination is when seeds begin to sprout (grow).

Each group was given a packet of seeds, an egg carton and some soil. We had to put a bit of soil in each hallow of the egg carton and sprinkle in a few seeds, then cover with a bit more soil and add a little water.
 

Room 4 planted sprouting seeds, lettuce, radish, parsley and capsicum. Students made labels and stuck them to the egg cartons so we knew what we had planted and put them by a window so they could get some sun.  We only watered them when the soil was dry.

After 7 days, Room 4 noticed little green sprouts coming out of the soil. Our seeds finally sprouted! We will wait for them to get bigger, then plant them in our vegetable garden.
