Y3 What do Seeds Need to Grow?

Using a series of headings and bullet point prompts pupils are encouraged to think, discuss and then plan an investigation to find out what seeds need in order to germinate and remain healthy.


Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant
  • NaG - pupils should be introduced to the relationship between structure and function: the idea that every part has a job to do
  • WS - pupils should ask relevant questions and use different types of scientific enquiries to answer them; record findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables; use straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings
