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.
