Everything you need to deliver seven plant practical activities. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in year 10. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion. They can also be performed as demonstrations and most of them can be used in distance learning.
What happens to plants in the absence of light? – This practical can be done in the lab or sent to do it at home in a distance learning approach as little material is needed. It can also be shown as a demonstration.
Leaves under the microscope
Roots for food: web exploring activity that can be easily performed in distance learning.
Seeds feeling gravity: lab activity although it is simple enough to be performed in distance learning.
Transport of water in celery: 2 lab activities included. It could be performed at home with food colouring.
Investigating different colours of light in photosynthesis – theoretically. Can be done in distance learning. All the information given for student to work out on their own the apparatus, risks, results and conclusion.
Check the slides’ notes for some extra info about the activity. Some coincide with Cambridge Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website.
