Science

Most plants begin life beneath the ground.  They grow from seeds, which drop into the soil.  There is a way you can see what happens out of sight under ground. A bean is the seed of a plant.  You can grow it in a glass jar, where you can see it clearly…     Why not investigate how the roots grow?

We would also love to see any other plants/ vegetables that you have spent time growing so far this summer 

Science        

Make a tin drum and a tom-tom. 

They make different kinds of sounds, but they work in the same way.  When you hit a drum’s stretched skin, it vibrates.  This makes the air inside the drum vibrate – and out comes the sound.
