Teaching tips:
Use this activity to support learning about the parts of a plant and their functions.
Move onto writing project: Plant life cycles and challenge children to include description of the parts of a plant and their functions in their captions.
This topic area presents opportunities to practise working scientifically: investigate the factors that affect plant growth by growing plants under different conditions, for example, with vs. without sunlight or water. Record these changes and present findings using our Busy graph maker to plot the results.
