"Plants for Primary Pupils" teachers' book - Book 6: Plants in their Natural Environment

One of a series of 6 booklets, supporting you in teaching about science and plants, through hands-on activities for science, literacy and numeracy. The booklet includes full teaching resources and ideas, together with background notes for teachers.
Plants in their Natural Environment is the final one in an online version of a series of booklets written to support plant science in the Primary Curriculum. In this final booklet, children are encouraged to look beyond a single plant to consider habitats, ecology and adaptations.
In looking at the natural environment and more closely at plants in their habitats, children are encouraged to look beyond a single plant, its life cycle and what it needs to grow, and to consider groups of different plants living together in an area, known as the habitat.
The activities are suitable for Year 3 and Year 4.
