Lesson Three – Growing Plants
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record how to conduct a fair test to investigate and observe how plant growth is dependent on light, air and water.
The class can plant some seeds and record measurements and observations over a period of time as to how the seeds are growing and changing to identify some of the factors that can affect plant growth.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record how to conduct a fair test to investigate and observe how plant growth is dependent on light, air and water
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe each of the factors that are needed for all plants to grow and a template to observe and record how plants can grow and change over units of time to match different variables and factors.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to conduct a test to investigate how plant growth is dependent on light, air and water.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
