# Year 5 Investigate Seed Germination

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/blog/IMG_4676.jpeg)   28 September 2023   [Mrs Dowson](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/author/sdowson)   [Class of 2018](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/category/class-of-2018)

We already know what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy from our Year 3 lessons. So we are investigating whether a seed needs the same conditions to germinate. In groups we have set up our own experiment and we are sharing our results with the rest of the class. Looking at our seeds after one week, we think water and the correct temperature are the only things a seed needs. We will look again next week to check our findings are accurate.
