Y3/4 (B): Making connections: How does wind force affect seed dispersal?
Exploring the relationship between the force of the wind and distance seeds are dispersed.
Unit outcomes
Pupils who are secure will be able to:
- Recall key knowledge from previous units.
- Apply knowledge in new contexts.
When working scientifically, pupils who are secure will be able to:
- Carry out a full scientific enquiry.
Please note that Kapow Primary Science lessons are designed to be 1 hour and 30 minutes long to reflect the requirements of a core subject.
