Teach young learners what plants need to grow with this engaging cut and stick & colouring activity perfect for EYFS and KS1 science lessons.
This printable plant needs sorting activity helps children identify and sort what plants need to grow, including soil, water, sun, and air, while learning to distinguish them from items plants don’t need, such as cake, sweets, apple, and paint.
Designed to support early years science and the growing plants topic, this cut and stick activity includes:
Two sorting mats: one with full-colour discs and one in black and white for children to colour themselves
8 cut-out discs with clear, simple illustrations – 4 items plants need and 4 they don’t
Colour and black-and-white versions of all pieces, perfect for a cut and stick worksheet or colouring activity
Ideal for teaching plant growth, what plants need to grow, and science vocabulary at EYFS and KS1 levels
This printable growing plants resource is perfect for independent work, group sorting activities, or part of your spring or plant growth science topic.
Use this cut and stick sorting worksheet to help children learn key concepts about plants and growth, improve fine motor skills, and enjoy hands-on learning.
KS2 Science PowerPoint Lesson and worksheets on water transport in plants.
This is the third lesson in a series of Year 3 Science lessons on Plants. Corresponds to the Year 3 Science statutory requirements: investigate the way in which water is transported within plants.
18 pages including the front cover and Hoppy Times terms and conditions.
In this lesson, students learn the meaning of the plant water transport system; learn to explain how water travels through the xylem tubes of a plant in the process called capillary action; predict and discuss why water is important to each part of a plant; they are also encouraged to make up a dance to explain how the water transport in plants works. Resources needed for the lesson: PowerPoint (included); differentiated worksheets (1 per student); celery stalks cut into smaller pieces for observation of xylem.
Independent worksheets included (differentiated 3 ways).
The PowerPoint text is editable, making it easier to customise and tailor to the needs of your class.
I will also be uploading a Capillary Action investigation to go as an extension to this lesson. Please check back soon.

This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Mass Transport in Plants concept of unit 3 - A level biology, AQA specification.
Learning objective: Fully explain the mechanism of movement in the xylem and phloem tissue.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
SC1: Describe the mechanism for transpiration in the xylem.
SC2: Describe the mass flow hypothesis.
SC3: Evaluate the pressure flow gradient theory.
Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons.
Powerpoint contains 21 slides and 9 past paper questions.
Xylem and Phloem Diagram Worksheets
Xylem worksheet and answer sheet
Phloem worksheet and answer sheet
“Bold summary worksheets which outline everything you need to know about the xylem and phloem at high school level.”
The worksheets include questions on the following:
Describe vessel structure
State which substances are transported
Describe the direction of transport in the vessel
Describe the process of transportation
Compare the xylem and phloem through a Venn diagram
Identify xylem and phloem location in the stem
Answer sheets are included. The resource is editable and set up in A4 format.

A collection of four visually appealing worksheets covering all the main aspects of the GCSE topic: transport in plants.
Transpiration is a challenging topic and these worksheets will help students understand the key points and familiarise themselves with key words.
All worksheets are provided with a mark scheme and designed to encourage independent learning by students.
Included in the pack are the following
1.) a worksheet on transport in plants (arrangement of xylem and phloem in the root and stem)
2.) a worksheet on how water and minerals move into the roots
3.) a worksheet on the process of transpiration
4.) a worksheet on transpiration rate and how to measure it
This resource features different flowers in plant pots with the numbers 11-20 on them. Please check out my TikTok account eyfsdiarieswithmisscx to see how I used this resource in one of my tuff tray activities.

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Biology! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about the difference between animal and plant cells. Students will describe the function of cell components, and compare the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells.
The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets, information sheets and quizzes for students to complete. This resource is part of the cells topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for GCSE Science.
Included:
23 slides in total for the lesson PPT
15 slides for the quiz PPT
Cell component information sheets and worksheet for students to complete
Literacy and grammar success criteria sheet
Included are three lessons on the mass transport of substances in plants, following the AQA A-Level Biology Specification Reference 3.3.4.2.
Lesson 1: Transport in the Xylem
Lesson 2: Transport in the Phloem
Lesson 3: Investigations and Exam Practice
They include suggested tasks that allow students to go above and beyond the specification to develop their skills in reading academic literature and carrying out their own research.
Perfect if you teach AQA GCSE Biology, this fully differentiated and resourced lesson supports your students in learning about how plant hormones coordinate and control growth. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to state the function of auxin, describe how plant hormones coordinate and control growth, responses to light and gravity, and describe the commercial uses of plant hormones. In addition, the resource can easily be adapted to cover other exam boards.
The resource includes a detailed and engaging PowerPoint Presentation with key points, differentiated activities, exam style questions and progress check questions/quizzes for students to complete. A differentiated worksheet is included.
*INCLUDED IN RESOURCE:
15 slide PowerPoint Presentation with key points, progress checks and quizzes.
Differentiated worksheet included. *

A selection of resources on the different ways plants can reproduce. These can be adapted for KS3 and GCSE. Worksheets and activities.
BONUS - the asexual reproduction tasks are differentiated and scaffolded for students to independently access and complete (and with whimsical characters!).
Plants, Xylem, Phloem, minerals, transpiration, vascular bundle, root hair cell

A card-sort that can be easily adapted & differentiated to suit your classes needs. Questions/answers can be typed into sheet 2 of the Excel file to alter the cards on sheet 1.
I recommend printing each set you need on different coloured card so it is easy to identify any stray cards!
Pupils must identify and label diagrams of animal and plant cells.
Like all my worksheets this was intended to be used with SEN students (L1-3).
Edit: I have modified this worksheet taking on board the comments left for this resource and improving the terms used.
Powerpoint explaining why nitrates and Magnesium are needed by plants and deficiency symptoms. There is a gap fill activity, a statement fill and a practical included. Designed for AQA GCSE specification.
