Plant Growth
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record the life cycle of plants as they grow from seeds or bulbs into flowers and identify the factors that can affect their growth. The class can perform tests and research information to identify facts that can explain how and why plants grow.
Investigate and record the life cycle of plants as they grow from seeds or bulbs into different flowers and identify the factors that can affect their growth
Lesson One : Plant Stems
Practise conducting an investigation to observe, explain and record how water is transported around a plant using the stem
Lesson Two : Growing Seeds
Explore and record how to conduct a test to identify each of the special factors that are required for seeds to grow into matching plants
Lesson Three : Growing Plants
Identify and record how to conduct a fair test to investigate and observe how plant growth is dependent on light, air and water
Lesson Four : Seeds and Pollination
Investigate, describe and record how different flowers can produce seeds and reproduce through pollination
Lesson Five : Seed Dispersal
Explore how to collect and record evidence to show some of the special ways that different seeds can be dispersed from the mother plant
Lesson Six : Plant Fayre
Practise researching and presenting collected facts and information about how different plants can grow and develop over a period of time
