This editable differentiated lesson pack focuses on how plants grow from bulbs. Children explore real bulbs or photographs, ask their own research questions, and use fact cards to find answers. They learn that bulbs have layers that store energy, roots that grow from the bottom, and shoots that grow from the top. The lesson builds enquiry skills through observing, questioning and explaining how bulbs survive winter and make new plants.

The file includes the following resources: - editable teaching presentation - editable activity worksheets - editable additional activity ideas - editable lesson plan - editable focus assessment worksheet
