Plant Discovery Day KS1

They will also discover how people use all of their sensory powers to learn about plants through an exciting mix of environmental activities such as making a sound map,  examining taste buds, using colour catchers to explore colours in nature and magnifying glasses to study plant parts in close detail, and group activities such as   ‘meet a tree ’, and  ‘smelly cocktails’. 

Session covers: Working scientifically to observe plants including life cycles, plant structures and variation and to reinforce the  learning through a range of fun sensory plant based activities.

Students learn about a seeds needs of life as they have fun playing the ‘Seed Tig  Game’, discover plant variation by taking part in a scavenger hunt, learn about plant parts using edible fruits and vegetables and study the tiny seeds from which the produce grows, pretend to be a pollinator in the pollination game and plant a seed to take away and grow.
