Teaching tips:
Use this activity to support learning about plant life cycles. Ask children to identify what is shown in each image, put them into the correct order, and match them with the correct label. Discuss the changes that take place between each stage.
Also, see Life cycle of a flowering plant to challenge children to create their own images and captions.
Guidance and Vocabulary are available within the activity to prompt children and support teaching.
