This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on identifying the parts of a plant - roots, stem and leaves. Children then explore how each structure helps the plant survive. Using magnifying tools, careful drawing and guided discussion, pupils examine the features of each part and link what they see to its function: roots absorb water and anchor the plant, the stem supports and transports water, and leaves make food using sunlight. The lesson builds accurate scientific vocabulary, strengthens observation and recording skills, and gives children a clear understanding that every part of a plant has a specific job that helps it stay alive.
