Fascinating Fact:

Fruit farms grow apples, pears, berries, and cherries, often picked by hand so they do not get squashed.

In KS1 Science, children learn that plants give us food and that farms are special places where crops are grown and animals are cared for to feed many people.

  • Farm: A place where people grow plants or keep animals for food and other products.
  • Crop: Plants grown by farmers, such as wheat, potatoes, or fruit, to be harvested and used.
  • Harvest: The time when ripe crops are picked or collected from the fields.
What do children learn about farming in KS1 science?

In KS1 science, children learn that plants need water, light, and soil to grow, and that farms provide these so we can have fruit, vegetables, milk, and eggs.

Why are different crops grown on farms?

Different crops are grown to give us a variety of foods. Some crops are for bread and cereals, some for fruit and vegetables, and some to feed farm animals.

How do farmers look after plants on a farm?

Farmers prepare the soil, plant seeds, water the crops, protect them from pests, and pick them at harvest time so the plants grow healthy and strong.
