1A science - week 2

This week we were identifying and describing the roots of a plant.  We used magnifying glasses to look really closely.  We tried to describe the roots.  We thought they: are a bit lighter than our skin colour, are a bit brown/peach colour, look like a sort of comb, look a bit like spaghetti, look a bit carrot shaped.  Some of us tried to pull up a plant from the ground but it was really tricky; the plant was 'stuck' in the ground.  Mrs Avery used a garden fork to dig up the plant and we could see that the roots did a really good job of keeping the plant in the ground.  We also found out that the roots help to tranport water to the rest of the plant.
