This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on helping children understand what a plant is and how to recognise one in the world around them. Through simple observation and hands‑on exploration, pupils learn that plants are living things and begin to spot the features many plants share, such as leaves, stems and roots. They compare real examples and everyday objects to decide whether something is or is not a plant.
