Seed Grow Show is on again for 2015. We are so excited to be a part of this program which provides students with an opportunity to have real-life hands-on learning on the environmental factors effecting the growth of vegetable crops. This year we will be growing sweet corn, pumpkin and watermelon. Students will have the opportunity to speak with an entomologist about the control of vegetable crop pests, work with other scientists and agricultural experts on a range of plant growth issues and grow our three vegetable crops.
This page will allow us to record our educational journey, share images and progress reports as well as providing an avenue of communicating with the scientists at the research station between visits.
Thank you to the Bowen Agricultural Research station for this amazing opportunity.
After reviewing the latest update and data of the pumkin experiment we have made some predictions:
I predict that the growth of the test plant will soon be affected as well as the number of fruits.
Jorja
I predict that the growth of the test plant will not be affected but the fruit will.
Baylee
I predict the test plant and its fruit will be healthy but there won’t be as much fruit.
Trinity
I predict that the test plant will survive and produce more fruit.
Sinead
I predict that the test plant will not grow much more and the fruit will not be healthy.
Rachel
I predict that the test plants will produce beautiful big fruit in the coming weeks.
Dimity
I predict that the test plants will continue to grow and produce healthy fruit but more slowly than the fertilised plants.
Grace
I predict that the test plants will not produce much more fruit and will die.
Emma
I predict the test plants will be nice healthy plants but have less fruit.
Tane
I predict the test plants growth will be affected as well as the fruit size and amount of fruit compared to the fertilised plants.
Luca
I predict the test plants will be smaller plants with smaller fruit.
Rhiley
I predict that the test plants will grow just as healthy and have nice healty fruit like the other plants.
