A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the first lesson of a sequence, looking at the different parts of a plant. The lesson presentation includes being able to name the different parts of a plant as well as then discussing the different roles that each part plays.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to label the parts of a plant before matching the parts to their different functions. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the second lesson of a sequence, looking at the different things that a plant needs. The lesson presentation includes a recap from a previous lesson of the different parts of a plant (can easily be omitted if you want this lesson as a one off) before then looking at the different things plants need and why.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to name the things plants need before completing a true or false grid with statements linked to what plants need. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included.
There is also a copy of the recap task included should you wish for children to have a go at naming parts of the plant and explaining why one part is important.
