Lesson Two – Plant Variation
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record some of the special similarities and differences that can be observed and recorded between a range of different flowering plants.
The class can list measurements and observations to illustrate how particular plants can be the same or different such as the height of the stems or petal colour shades.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record some of the special similarities and differences that can be observed and recorded between a range of different flowering plants
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the similarities and differences that can be seen between plants and differentiated templates to select and record measurements and observations about different parts of a plant and their matching functions.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore and record some of the similarities and differences that can be observed between different flowering plants.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify and describe the common parts found on all plants and explain how plants can be used for different functions including food, shelter and clothing. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
