A Sunflower Study

Me and the Bears are planning a Sunflower Study! 

We are going to plant sunflowers, which in fairness, we have done every year, but this year, we're going to include it in our home ed learning by tracking its growth.

It will roll in some science as I plan to do the parts of the flower and look at what it needs to survive, and also maths by measuring its growth over time and even plotting a simple graph so that Bear can see the line.

I have started putting a pack together with some colouring and activities that I've found online, and am hoping to get some other home ed friends involved so the kids can compare sunflowers too.

We started with a trip to the garden centre to buy the things we need, including seeds! And then we will spend some time planting them in the garden one sunny afternoon in early April, which is what it says is the best time to plant them as it's still a little cold over night yet. We have repotted some of our other seedlings recently and the boys are more than excited for their sunflowers!

Would anyone like to join in?
