Pupils will firstly be introduced to two further hormones in addition to auxin: gibberellins and ethene. The first task is for pupils to watch a video on the role of auxins and gibberellins in plant growth and development. Pupils will answer questions whilst watching the video and then self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.
Once pupils understand how gibberellins and auxins work they are asked to think > pair > share how these two hormones might be utilised by farmers/gardeners to help increase yield. Pupils can come up with a mind map in their books of their ideas.
The next activity is another video, this one is on the uses of hormones in horticulture and agriculture. Pupils are asked to answer questions whilst watching the video, this work can again be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided.
Pupils will then be given an information sheet on plant hormones, outlining further roles of auxin and gibberellins and also the role of ethene. Pupils will need to answer questions using this information.
The final activity is a true/false task on the topics of plant hormones.
The plenary task is for pupils to write a text message to their friends outlining what they have learnt this lesson.
All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
