Today, children in year 5 learned about asexual plant reproduction – how new, genetically identical clones of plants, can be made. We learned about how potatoes, garlic and strawberries can all produce new plants through their tubers, bulbs and runners. Finally, we took cuttings of Pothos – a jungle plant – and placed them in water. We hope to see them develop roots and have some lovely plants for the classrooms once they’re ready!
