Here you will find a diagram of the structure of flowers.
This experiment helps pupils understand about light and plant growth and it also presents an opportunity for the pupils to develop their powers of observation and numeracy.
A sequencing activity based on the life cycle of the rapid-cycling Brassica.
Diagrams of parts of a plant including the stem, twigs, bud, cone, stamen and ovaries.
This protocol allows students to demonstrate and test Koch’s Postulates, using apples infected with the fungus Penicillium expansum.
An activity to examine the effect of the aphid infestation on plants.
This practical activity investigates the use of hyperaccumulating plants to clean up copper contaminated soils.
This activity provides an opportunity for pupils to role play the process of pollination.
This activity provides the opportunity to see how seeds develop into seedlings over a period of time.
In this resource, students investigate the biodiversity of different habitats, looking at the relative abundance of different plant species.
Pupils will consolidate their learning through matching plants with habitats. A great opportunity to develop speaking and listening skills.
In this investigation, students look at the way in which flowering plants use colour to attract pollinators, and particularly bees.
This activity provides the opportunity for children to plant sugar snap pea seeds and observe how they grow into mature plants.
This resource consists of 25 PowerPoint slides, each with information about a different science career, ranging from toxicology to environmental conservation.
One of a series of booklets written to support plant science in the Primary Curriculum. This topic extends pupils' understanding of the parts of a flower and their functions, with a range of fun activities to reinforce pupil learning.
In this third primary booklet, the topic includes activities that can help children become familiar with the events that occur during pollination, leading to fertilisation.
This booklet includes activities that children can do to find out more about plants, focusing on ways that children can grow their own plants. Several of the activities are set out as investigations, to support children developing their approach to investigations in a scientific way.
This booklet includes activities that encourage children to explore the nature of living things. The activities help children understand how we can group objects (both living and not living) leading on to how we classify living things and why we give them names. It enables children to make simple keys based on similarities and differences between objects (including parts of plants) and to use keys to identify certain plants.
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 this activity, pupils make the root of a seedling grow through a maze by rotating a petri dish to different angles.
This activity provides an opportunity for children to show that they can identify and describe the basic structure of a flowering plant by creating a plant using carefully chosen materials to represent each part.
This resource uses the popular 'trumps' card game format to provide a fun and informative way for post-16 students to learn about some plant-derived pharmaceuticals.
