This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on the conditions that plants need to stay healthy. Children explore the five key requirements for growth: air, water, light, nutrients and space. They learn how scientists change one variable at a time, make predictions. They plan and carry out a comparative test, observing plants over several weeks to compare how different conditions affect growth.
