Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could plot the model data and use the completed line graph on slide 2 of the Presentation: Root growth line graph to support them in plotting their line graph accurately; could use the Knowledge organiser to help them write the script for the Attention grabber timelapse video.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should plot the model data as a second line (using a different colour) onto their line graph; should compare their data line to the model line and suggest reasons for differences (e.g. differences in the amount of sunlight, differences in temperature and different mint plant used).
