This download helps meet the following National Curriculum targets:
Year 2 Science: Living things and their habitats
Statutory:
Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive
Notes and guidance (non-statutory)
Pupils should be introduced to the idea that all living things have certain characteristics that are essential for keeping them alive and healthy. They should raise and answer questions that help them to become familiar with the life processes that are common to all living things.
Pupils might work scientifically by: sorting and classifying things according to whether they are living, dead or were never alive, and recording their findings using charts. They should describe how they decided where to place things, exploring questions for example: ‘Is a flame alive? Is a deciduous tree dead in winter?’ and talk about ways of answering their questions.
Use these worksheets to ensure children have secured key vocabulary for trees: roots, leaves, bark, branch, twig and soil. Colour and labels activity as well as fact sheet. It complements our book ‘Roots, stems, leaves and flowers’ from our FUNdamental Science series. For more information, downloads and to purchase our books, please visit www.rubytuesdaybooks.com
