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.

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

Make Cells FUN!
This resource is a bright, engaging way to teach students about plant, animal and specialized cells. An effective active learning technique!
Included in this resource:
Snakes and ladders board
Filled with student questions
Student worksheet
For students to note down their answers to the board questions
Answer key
Comprehensive answers for all board questions
All board questions are based around cell components for both plant and animal cells, as well as adaptations and functions. Specialized cells such as red blood cells and root hair cells are also addressed in this board game.
The board game is set up to be printed in A3 but can easily be adapted to A4 margins. The resource is completely editable as a PowerPoint document but a PDF copy is also included for preparation free printing.
Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing
AQA Combined Science Trilogy unit ‘Bioenergetics: Photosynthesis’
Full lesson ready to use straight ‘out of the box’.
Though designed for teachers to deliver (specialist and non-specialists), the lessons are structured in an intuitive way for students to navigate for independent/ remote learning/ homework covering missed content/recap
Similar structure to my other power points following the input - activity - review phasing
plenary sections for progress checking
Clear learning objectives and outcomes
Modern and engaging layout
Little adaptation needed
Covers an hour lesson of content matched to the specification
33 ppt slides
Please give constructive feedback :D
Chapter 9 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about transport in plants.
*The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson.
*
Including:
9.1 Transport systems in dicotyledonous plants
9.2 Water transport in multicellular plants
9.3 Transpiration
9.4 Translocation
9.5 Plant adaptations to water availability
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Competition in Plants and Animals for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology.
As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. The lesson goes into a lot of depth and takes learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Starter / Do Now Activity (with answers)
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
Learning objectives:
Describe why organisms have to compete for resources.
Describe what factors organisms compete for.
Suggest what factors organisms are competing for in specific situations.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications and to KS3. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
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 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.

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.
