Grade 8 – Biology
Activity: Growing with Manure and Fertiliser
What makes plants grow stronger—manure or fertiliser? Our inquisitive Grade 8 biologists were determined to find out! With the help of Xperimentor, the lab on wheels, they got their hands dirty in the most exciting way.
Three pots, three different treatments: one with manure, one with fertiliser, and one left to fend for itself. The wait began… until the magic of nature unfolded before their eager eyes.
The results were a revelation: manure enriched the soil, making it soft, fertile, and water-retentive, while fertilisers acted like a supercharger, pushing seedlings into leafy, thriving wonders.
The big takeaway? Healthy soil equals healthy plants. A dash of manure gives the soil an eco-friendly glow-up, and fertilisers provide the extra boost for speedy growth. Together, they’re nature’s perfect partners for turning tiny seeds into green legends!
