Step 1: Sprinkle grass heads into the right sized stockings.
Step 2: Cover the seeds with soil on the top.
Step 3: Fill up the soil in the tights and make a tennis ball sized head.
Step 4: Use rubber bands to tie up the end and to make a nose and ears.
After creating their grass heads, Room 14 personalised their grass heads. They planned and designed the face parts and the clothes. These clothes were created using a range of art supplies like fabric, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. Combined together to create a cute face and specially designed clothes.
Once the grass heads were decorated, the individual creators started watering their grass heads. They put their grass heads into different areas of the classroom and tested, like scientists would, the best place for the grass to grow faster. They acted as problem solvers during the process and found solutions to problems during the whole experiment.
Students took care of their grass heads so they didn’t dry out or die. They measured the length of the grass regularly and recorded the heights in their journals. They drew representations of the grass heads at different stages of its growth to record the changes.
We glued the googly eyes and the mouth on our grass heads.
The grass sprouted. We watered it every day.
The grass kept growing every week.
We put the seeds and dirt into the tights and filled it up like a ball.
Once the grass has grown long enough, students design hair styles for their grass heads ready to sell at Market Day.
A simple experiment has provided Room 14 students with many opportunities to think like scientists and entrepreneurs by planning, recording, testing and creating.
