Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to explain how to differentiate between plants found growing in the school grounds or a local park and a template to identify and classify different types of plants by their observable matching characteristics.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to test ways of classifying and grouping different types of plants to show what makes them unique.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify, group and compare some of the different plants and animals that live in a variety of habitats around the world. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
