KS1 / KS2 Science - What is pollination?

This film is from the series Ivy’s Plant Shop available on BBC Teach.

This film explores the process of pollination and the roles played by different parts of a plant.

At the end of the film, the process is summarised in a catchy song which will help children remember it.

Teacher Notes

This film could be used as an introduction to plants and reproduction.

Pupils could write a non-fiction report on plant reproduction or the process of pollination.

Working in pairs, pupils could create a series of cards depicting pollination which another pair could then try to sequence.
