Life cycle of a radish plant foldable sequencing activity science cut and paste KS1 or KS2

Are you growing radishes in the classroom? Review or introduce the life cycle of a radish plant with this fun, foldout activity where pupils colour a template, sequence the radish life cycle stages, glue, cut and fold. Options are included for a 4 stages life cycle where the radishes are harvested for food, and a 6 stage life cycle where the plant goes on to flower and produce seed pods.

The templates

There are 3 template options to choose from, allowing you to differentiate for your learners.

• Template 1: Children colour the radish template and 4 stages of the radish life cycle from seed to harvesting. They sequence the stages on the template, glue, cut, and fold.
• Template 2: As above but with a straight cutting edge around the radish.
• Template 3: Children colour the radish template and 6 stages of the radish life cycle from seed to seed pods. They sequence the stages on the template, glue, cut, and fold.

For each template, there is an option to sequence the images with the stages names, or with short descriptions.

What else is included?

• Colour diagram of the full life cycle.
• Simple observation sheets to record drawings/descriptions of radishes if you are growing them in the classroom. Option to record with date, or with the day number (e.g. day 1, day 3, day 7 etc).
• Simple writing sheet for pupils to make notes describing what is happening at each life cycle stage (seed, seedling, growing radish, mature radish). A blank version is also included.
