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.
Bumper pack to support EYFS teaching of parts of a plant.
Includes:
Parts of a plant poster (Sunflower)
Label the plant sheet (Sunflower),
Cut & stick label the plant (Sunflower),
Large cut out to build a sunflower (Sunflower),

HAPPY TEACHING!
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Eukaryotic, Prokaryotic, Animal and Plant Cells for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Biology / Combined Science 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.1.2. except for estimating the size or area of sub-cellular structures, which I have included in the lesson on microscopes later in the sequence.
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner 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.
In my lessons I take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. 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:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically 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.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
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
