Science Alternate Assessment (AA): Growing Kang Kong plants!

Hello 3A,

Here are some pictures to help you recap what we have done so far for our AA - Growing our own Kang Kong plants!

PSST: Do you remember the importance of Hydroponics Farm in Singapore?

Placing the seeds inside the styroform > transport it to our very own EDP green house >
germination starts!

STOP & THINK: What are the requirements for a seed to germinate? Are they the same of an adult plant?
EDP greenhouse. Thank you to my little helpers for helping me transport the seeds there!

3A pupils getting all excited in filling up the boxes with tap water.
Do remember to check the water level in the box regularly! Top up as and when it's needed.

Adding nutrients in a 50-50 ratio to the tap water! Afterall, it's a SOILESS type of planting! (:

Getting all ready for the individual styrofoam cube to be placed into the small pots!

After 1 week...look at how fast our seedlings are growing! :D

Groups measuring the plant's height and length of leaves for Day 1 (7 Aug, Thurs)



Love it when 3A pupils work together collaboratively!

Do remember to add in your group's name (in short forms/acronyms will do)
e.g. Pikachu group > P
Do remember to record your observations down carefully!
I will be creating a new view for Plants in KF soon. Do post up your observations and questions concerning the germination process and/or growth of the plant.
