Plants and Growth Exploration
Read the investigation
Ellis planted three bean seeds in identical pots with the same amount of compost. Each pot was kept at the same temperature. Pot A stood on a sunny windowsill and was watered regularly. Pot B stood in a cupboard and was watered regularly. Pot C stood on the windowsill but was not watered. After seven days, the seeds in Pots A and B had sprouted. Pot A had a short, sturdy green shoot with open leaves. Pot B had a longer, thin, pale shoot with small leaves. Pot C had not sprouted. A seed contains a tiny young plant and stored food. When conditions are suitable, it can germinate. The root usually grows downwards first. A growing plant uses light, water, air and nutrients to stay healthy. Leaves use light to help make food.
- Seeds cannot germinate without sunlight.
- A seed can sprout in the dark, but the shoot may be pale and weak.
- Water stops seeds from growing.
- Plants do not need light at any stage.
