Primary Onion Plant Update

The Primary classes have been using all their senses and what they have learned about being a scientist to observe the seeds we planted.  Our first observations were how small onion seeds are.  We compared the onion seeds to other types of seeds that the children brought in: apple, avocado, orange, sunflower, corn, pumpkin and pear.  The onion seeds were the smallest.

We observed the soil using all our senses (except taste).  We planted our seeds in a variety of settings.  The seeds we planted outside and inside grew about a half an inch in one week!  They are now standing 2 inches tall.  The seeds we planted in the greenhouse struggled due to the heat.

We are looking forward to seeing how big our plants will be next month.  We are predicting that if our plants survive, they might have an onion forming under the soil.
