Module 6: How plants grow
- Students have their own ideas and explanations about how the world around them works.
- These ideas may include misconceptions. One such misconception is that plant growth relies on the soil to provide food for plant growth.
- In this unit children are asked to question this widespread misconception by discussing different historic experiments.
- Children will learn that science is a dynamic process and that concepts change in the light of new evidence.
