4 months ago Posted on 14th May 2026 by Mrs Ceri Williams Our Comparative Investigation We have been learning about plants and how they live, grow, and reproduce. Today we set up a comparative investigation to find out how temperature affects how a plant transports water. We put flowers (chrysanthemums and carnations) into beakers of water, coloured with food colouring, and placed each beaker into either a cold, warm or room temperature location. We had to ensure a fair test by making sure: the flowers were the same type (or species) and were the same length the beakers were the same size and made form the same material the amount of water was the same the amount of food colouring was the same the only thing that was different, the variable, was the location temperature where we put the beakers. Over the coming week, we will observe the flowers and compare how quickly they take up the blue water and show it in their petals. Watch this space for the results!

12 months ago Posted on 24th Sep 2025 by Mrs Ceri Williams Investigating What Plants Need to Live We learned about what plants needed to live and what happens to plants if they don’t get those conditions. We worked in groups to design a fai test. Each plant was the same to start with then one was given no light, one was given no water, one was given no air and the other was given the wrong temperature (cold). We also had a control that had all of those conditions. We observed the plants over the following week.
