Planting our Beans | Science Investigations for PB

This week Monday, Mrs. Wells from Tamaki College came in again to continue our experiment about the independent variables which we started last week. Today everyone began making our soils, and planting the dwarf beans. Following the methods, we first put on a pair of gloves each. We all then got  ice-cream container and put our independent variable in first (mine was salt). Then we measured the amount of soil using a scale, making sure we each used the same amount so that this would be an accurate experiment. After putting in 400ml of soil into the container, we mixed the ingredients together. Finally we planted our bean, by measuring 200ml of our soil mixtures into small rectangular containers and made a 3cm hole down. We planted these beans and are each planning to water them to see how they grow.

Weight Measurement

L.I: To measure the students weight using a scale.
I Learnt how to add weight and measure weight in kg using a scale.
We had to get into a group and measure every ones weight and add them all together then see how much they equal to. We were given 2 animals to see how much they weigh, then see how close we can get to that number. We could choose 2 other things of our choice and repeat the same thing.
