Building on what we’ve learned about the different functions of plant parts, 3 BC have been investigating like ACE scientists. We have been observing how water is transported through various plants—does the process differ in daisies, tulips, and celery? We’ve also been wondering how florists manage to get dyes into certain flowers, and what exactly happens when clear water is transported all the way to the petals. In addition to our classroom observations, we are carrying out a collaborative science experiment with the rest of Year 3. We are asking the big questions:

• Can plants grow without soil?
• What about without water or sunlight?
• Which variable will prove to be the most important for survival?

We will be sure to let you know our results soon!
