This is a fantastic topic or project with links to living things, maths, art, and business. Your class will create their very own business selling seed bombs where they’ll need to create their business before making, advertising, and selling their seed bombs. It’s great if you can also find some space for them to test and use the seed bombs themselves.
This project is fantastic for developing team skills as well as making their learning relevant and meaningful.
**Teaching Structure: **
Read through the instruction sheet explaining that they are going to make a business selling seed bombs. Encourage them to think about the importance of local flowers and the benefits they have on the local wildlife.
Put the students into teams of 4 or 5 and get them to mind map their business ideas (name, who they’ll sell to, how they’ll advertise them etc.).
The following activities and worksheets can be taught in an order which suites you and your class best. Below we have split them into subject areas which best relate to the activities.
**Art / Design: **
Design a logo
Packaging design
**Science: **
Which Flowers: Research which native flowers would be good to include (you can collect or order seeds online).
Make the seed bombs by following the instructions.
Optional: Design their own seed bombs by changing or adding to the ingredients used. They can then re-write the instructions on how to make their own seed bombs. You could go a step further and get them to create a TV advert for their seed bombs.
**Literacy: **
Seed bomb instructions: Highlight the key features of the instructions.
My Seed Bomb instructions: Re-write the seed bomb instructions with their own unique ideas.
Advertisement: Students will create a poster for their seed bombs.
**Math: **
Cost and profits / sale prices: For these activity sheets students will work out how much it costs to produce the seed bombs, decide how much they will sell them for, and figure out their profits.
Sales Report: Students will keep a record of their sales, recording their profits on here.

Rain is great fun and no reason to stop outdoor learning. This pack contains cross curricular resources and activities that you can do in the rain. So put those waterproofs on and enjoy the rain!
This resource includes science, literacy, and math activities for ages 7 - 10.
Activities included:
Rain Description: Children will go outside and use adjectives, similes and metaphors to describe what they can see, hear, feel and touch.
Rain poetry: Children will use their descriptions to write a poem about the rain. It’s great if they can do this outside using a whiteboard or scrap paper before writing it up in neat inside.
Rain Gauge Investigation: For this investigation children will design and build their own rain gauge to record the amount of rainfall over a decided period of time. It’s good to give children the chance to experiment with their ideas, however you may need to give them some guidance. We find this investigation works best when done in teams of 3 or 4. You can use these teams to provide differentiation and support by using mixed ability groups. Once they’ve collected their rainfall data they can then answer some questions based on their results as well as input their results into a line graph.
Puddle Size: This activity is all about measuring using diameters, radius, and perimeter. Children will find 5 puddles to measure, recording their results onto a line graph before answering some questions on their results. Vibrant Rain: This activity is all about the colors of nature. Children will find different colored natural items, crush them with stones, and use the colors to create some rain art. It’s best to print this activity sheet on card so that it does not get too soggy when using the damp natural resources to paint with.
Teach your children about electricity through our Electricity Task Cards. This is a fantastic hands on activity that will teach your children to construct series and parallel circuits. They will love creating the circuits from the differentiated task cards.
