Year 1 Science: Plants: Describe and Compare Trees

This Year 1 science resource helps children to identify and name the key parts of trees, to use key words to describe them and then compare them (similarities and differences). Children will learn useful topic-related words, be posed interesting questions (Think-lets), follow highly structured teaching slides (Teach-lets) about the key parts of trees and have their scientific knowledge and understanding assessed throughout (Quiz-lets).

This resource provides 3 increasingly difficult challenges. The easier challenge asks children to label a common tree, the moderate challenge asks children to describe two common trees, and the harder challenge asks children to compare two common trees and to spot the similarities and differences. All useful words, visual image prompts, sentence starters and answers are provided.
