HCT was delighted to donate some turf to Year Two at Starcross Primary School. The students have been working hard in Science, part of which has been thinking about plant survival.

One of their tasks was to experiment with grass, to identify the essential elements it requires to thrive and be healthy.

This is where HCT came in, donating some turf to help with their experiments! This is what they did with it:

First, they cut it up into equal sizes and placed it into four trays. They labelled the trays:

1. Water and light
2. No water and light
3. No water and no light
4. Water and no light

The students made their predictions and have sent us some photos of their week one observation.

They said:

“Every day we are interested to have a look. Our predictions have been fairly accurate so far and we are amazed by the colour of the grass in the dark. It’s so yellow!”

Good luck with the next stages of your experiment!
