Kiwi Facts

WAL facts about a kiwi for our report writing.
Interesting facts

• Kiwis can run faster than a human. 
• Kiwis can grow very big
• The Kiwi's name doesn't come from its call, but from the Polynesian name for the Bristle- Thighed Curlew, the Kivi.This bird has the same way of feeding as the Kiwi, by poking it's long beak into soft ground.
• Adult kiwi usually mate for life and they can grow very fast.
• The kiwi is related to a group of birds called ratites. The closest relatives to kiwi today are emus and cassowaries in Australia, but also the now-extinct moa of New Zealand.

How plants can grow.

This is what I think about how plants grow.
We will be doing some experiments to find out if it is true.

1. How much sunlight do plants need to grow?
Lots of sunlight like 100%


2. Can plants grow in the shade? Can they grow inside?
No they can’t because they will die. NO because that would not work for the plants, because there is no sunlight

3. Can plants grow better by talking to them? Why?
No they wouldn’t because they can’t talk

4. Can plants grow in sand? or rocks? Why?
They can grow in none because the water would just go to the sand but not go in plant.And when it is planted to a rock the water would just slip off the rock and nothing would go on the plant.

5. How much water do plants  need to grow? What type of water?
lots and lots of water.Clean water.

6. Can you feed plants food? If yes, what kind?
Yes you can.You can give it carbon dioxide and water.
