Living things and their habitats
- Identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees.
- Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants.
- Explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant.
- Investigate the way in which water is transported within plants.
- Explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation, and seed dispersal.
- Identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees.
- Pupils should be introduced to the idea that all living things have certain characteristics that are essential for keeping them alive and healthy.
- Pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to explore and answer questions about plants growing in their habitat. Where possible, they should observe the growth of flowers and vegetables that they have planted.
- Pupils should be taught to observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants.
- Pupils should be taught to find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy.

Pupils should be introduced to the requirements of plants for germination, growth and survival, as well as the processes of reproduction and growth in plants.

- Pupils might work scientifically by: observing and recording, with some accuracy, the growth of a variety of plants as they change over time from a seed or bulb, or observing similar plants at different stages of growth; setting up a comparative test to show that plants need light and water to stay healthy.

- Find out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.
