Conclusions

Every plant needs water

Conclusions
Plants need sunlight to grow well.
Seeds can germinate and sprout under the soil without sunlight, because
seeds contain a store of food that the plant uses to grow. When this is
used up, the plant needs more food so it can keep getting bigger.
Plants use their leaves to absorb the sunlight and use the energy in the
sunlight to make their own food.

Conclusions

Were our predictions correct?


Did we choose the right conditions for our seeds
and bulbs to make sure they grow up healthy and
strong?
