(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Some trees, like giant redwoods, can grow over 100 metres tall, taller than a block of flats, like a living wooden skyscraper.

In KS1 Science, children learn that trees start from seeds, grow roots, trunks, branches, and leaves, and can keep growing for many years if they have light, water, and space.

Key Terms

  • Trunk: The main wooden stem of a tree that holds up the branches and carries water and food.
  • Roots: The parts growing underground that anchor the tree and drink water and minerals from the soil.
  • Growth Ring: A circle inside the trunk showing how much a tree has grown in one year.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I explain how trees grow to KS1 children?

Tell them a tree starts as a seed, sends out roots, then a shoot. With water, light, and air it grows a trunk, branches, and leaves.

What do trees need to grow strong in KS1 Science?

Trees need soil for nutrients, water to drink, sunlight for making food, air, and enough space for their roots and branches to spread.

How can you tell how old a tree is for children?

If a trunk slice is available, count the growth rings; each ring usually shows one year of growth. We never damage living trees just to check.
