Pupils needing extra support

Could be given fewer cards from the Resource: Plant hunt cards; could draw one simple picture to represent the investigation for task two (as opposed to being given the Activity: Instructions for a bean investigation).

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to think about what they already know when asking questions about plants (e.g. when I grew a sunflower, it took three weeks for a shoot to appear so how long will it take for a bean shoot to appear?); should explain what the investigation will tell them if the bean with water grows a shoot and the bean without water does not.
