Broad Bean Maze

One of our recent experiments involved growing broad beans in a jar. You can find that here. Once we had seen the beans sprouting we planted them into pots and moved the pots into different positions to learn more about plant growth.

We placed one on a windowsill, one in a cupboard and one in a plant maze we made ourselves.


We made it by cutting a hole in one end of an upturned shoe box. we cut some squares of card from another box and taped them on opposite sides inside the box. We added a broad bean plant and shut the lid of the box, leaving it on the windowsill.

Over the course of a week it grew..

And grew....

It navigated the maze to find the light. We have put a book on top to see if it can make it past one last hurdle.
Isn't that amazing!?

Until next time....S x
