Learn about the parts of a flower, with this flower dissection worksheet. Get your students working hands-on with this simple lab that can be done at home or in school. This fits in perfectly with the year 7/KS3 content on Ecosystems.
The only equipment required is a flower/scissors/tape and my worksheet!
The best time to complete this lab is in Spring, I used Daffodils from my garden! (It can get very expensive buying larger flowers for all your students, e.g. lilies from the supermarket!).
Included are additional activities, including:
Colouring and labelling activity
Keywords word search
Questions about pollination (answers included)
To also have the matching PPT for this activity, please take a look at this resource.
This is also found as a part of a bundle for teaching year 7 ecosystems.
I hope your students enjoy this activity as much as mine did!! If you want to extend your students, you could ask them to research the function of each part of the flower or complete further research into pollinators and their favourite flowers :)

These heart structure and function worksheets are designed to help your High School students learn all about what is the heart structure and function.
Included in this pack are:
Diagrams & labels of the heart (heart anatomy diagram worksheet) - for cutting and sticking into books.
A colourful pre-labelled heart (how heart works diagram) - ideal for peer/self assessing student work.
A large blank heart diagram & large labels - ideal for getting ideas together before students label their own (laminate for multiple use!) or for reviewing the information at the end of the lesson.
Key words - designed to help students writing their own explanation/description of how blood travels through the heart.
A word fill activity using the same key words.
A completed written answer - to be used as a model or for peer/self assessment (heart structure worksheet answers included).
By the end of the lesson I would expect students to understand how does the heart’s structure help its function.
There is a lot of variety around how you can use these resources! Please see below for descriptions of how I have used them in my classroom. If you are planning on using all the resources, I recommend taking more than one lesson.
For some teaching tips on how to teach anatomy of the heart, I have written an extensive blog post which includes how I would plan a whole teaching unit around the heart and circulatory system. Head to the link to my website in my TES shop!
How I have used this resource:
Previously I have allowed students time to look at the labelled version, and then attempt to label the large diagram in pairs on their table. Then they can look at other groups to compare. The cut and stick diagram takes a little time, ideal if you have a class that need to keep their hands busy for an afternoon!
I presented the written activity as a short essay style answer where they had to ‘describe the journey of the blood through the heart’. I gave them the key words to start with, and encouraged them to highlight words they used as they wrote. I gave my SEN students the word fill (I have students with dyspraxia and dyslexia, they struggle with writing big blocks of text from scratch). After the activity, I gave them the model answer - they looked through it, and added any detail they had missed (I asked them to underline/highlight what they had added so I could see what their original work looked like).
Product: worksheet heart anatomy, structure and function.

Do your students struggle to write their method for their science experiments? Maybe they just have not had a lot of experience writing a science lab method.
I have the same issues with my students, especially in KS3, this is a totally new style of writing than what they are used to!
To combat this, I have designed these worksheets that scaffold the process and build up student skills. I promise you, you will see some amazing improvements if you follow these simple steps!
Give them some writing rules.
Show them what a bad one looks like (and model why it is bad).
Show them what a good one looks like (and model why it is good).
Get them to review some poorly written and well written methods - allowing them to start to see what makes a good method.
Now start them writing by asking them to turn a series of diagrams into a written method following the rules.
Finally, they get to go solo! Get them to write a method from scratch without all the previous scaffolding (obviously they can look back at the rules and the examples of good methods to help them out if they need it!)
The quality of my students’ written methods has vastly improved and, more importantly, my student CONFIDENCE is soaring when we write methods! Something they would avoid in the past, not knowing where to start.
So, what exactly do you get included in this resource?
Bell-ringers x1 & exit tickets x2 (for you to choose which is most appropriate)
Rules for writing a method (printer friendly copy for students and a colour copy that could be printed as a poster or shared digitally)
Reviewing 2 methods – teacher modelled example highlighting and annotating what are the pros and cons of each method (according to the rules)
Reviewing 2 methods – students to complete independently
Turning lab diagrams into a method – students use the sequenced images and turn them into a logical method
Students write their own method for making their favourite sandwich!
Peer assessment forms for students to assess each other’s sandwich method.
If you would like more science teaching ideas and tips, please check out my blog. I spend a lot of time researching each blog and teaching strategy to provide the best high quality information for teachers everywhere.
