This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on helping children understand how new plants begin life and what they need to start growing. Through hands‑on planting and observation, pupils explore how seeds start to grow into plants. Children follow simple planting steps, make predictions about how their seeds will grow, and begin an ongoing observation  that continues throughout the unit. This lesson builds early scientific thinking by encouraging pupils to notice small changes over time and understand that plants grow in a sequence.
