Plants in Their Environment KS1 (Resource Bank Science) Book

This book aims to encourage Key Stage 1 teachers to investigate plants as living things with a wide range of environmental demands. This book looks at plant parts, seeds, environmental influences and plant growth. It includes ideas for structuring investigations and introducing young children to scientific equipment and methods, such as measuring. The poster shows a view through a window, trees outside and seeds on the windowledge. In the picture there are a number of children growing or studying plants. This is intended as a discussion starter from which to encourage children to make their own hypotheses and investigations about their world around them. The lesson plans for the activities and photocopiable pages focus on and develop from the poster content, taking the NC, NUIC, Scottish Guidelines and QCA Science scheme into account.Read More
