Growing plants

Class 6 wanted to find out what plants need to grow well, so they have been growing plants for a few weeks. The plants were put in differerent positions so that they could grow in different conditions.

Class 6 added fertilizer to four of the plants to make sure they had all the nutrients they needed.
Here is a table of Class 6's results.

Hours of light | Amount of water | Temperature C | Fertilizer | |
