Plants: Plant reproduction
Describing the life cycle of a flowering plant and carrying out tests to investigate plant structure and function.
Unit outcomes
Pupils who are secure will be able to:
- Identify what plants need to grow healthily.
- Describe the structure and function of the parts of flowering plants.
- Investigate how plants transport water.
