HAIRY HARRYS!

Today we were wondering how seeds grow and what they need to grow.

We made 'Hairy Harrys' (We put grass seeds into a stocking and then put some soil in. We tied a knot in the stocking and glued on eyes. We put water in a jar and sat Hairy on top. See the slideshow below)
  • I wonder what will happen if we put one Hairy Harry in a cupboard?
  • I wonder what will happen if we put one Hairy Harry in a cupboard without water?
Some Preps thought that the Hairy Harry would grow in the cupboard and some Preps thought that it would not grow without sunlight.
Some Preps thought that the Hairy Harry in the cupboard without water might grow, but probably not because seeds need water and sunlight to grow.
Like all good scientists we will watch and observe our Hairy Harrys and record what happens!

    I am a teacher in Ontario, Canada. I used to do this activity with my students before Father's Day. We'd let the grass grow really tall and then give them funky hair cuts before we took them home! Great job. I love their big googly eyes!

    Hi Prep K, what a great idea your hairy harrys are! We might have to try it in A3. How long do you think their hair will grow? Do you think it will grow straight up? I can't wait to see your hairy harrys when they have hair!

    Hi Prep K
    Your Hairy Harry's look very cute. How long do you think it will take for their hair to grow? Do you think they will need a haircut after the weekend? We will have to compare our 'Hairy Harry's' and see if they all grow at the same time.

    Dear Beck
    Thank you for your comment.

    I think we wont need a lawnmower because it would squash the hairy harry. (Georgia)

    Thank you for your joke - we all laughed (Eva)

    Hi Natalie

    I think it will take 5 days for our Hairy Harrys to grow. (Molly)

    I think it will take 1 more sleep for our Hairy Harrys to grow. (Oscar)

    Hi Miss Mac
    We think our Hairy Harrys hair will grow straight up and then we will have to give them a haircut!

    We cant wait for them to grow.

    Hi Prep K, I saw all your lovely hairy harries. I wonder why some have more hair than others? will you have to shampoo their hair when it has grown?
