# Do plants need soil to grow?

During science week, 4B planned an investigation to find out if plants need soil to grow. We found out that no, plants don't need soil to grow, however, soil helps the plant to grow healthily. The children will be using the results to plant and look after their own sunflower plants over the next few weeks.
