Fascinating Fact:

Keep leaves clean and clear, snipping off dead leaves with a grown-up so the plant can use its energy on healthy parts.

In KS1 Science, children learn that plants are living things that need care. By giving them water, light, space, and tidy leaves, we help them grow strong and stay healthy.

Key Terms

Watering: Giving a plant the right amount of water so the soil is damp but not too soggy.
Sunlight: Light from the sun that plants use to make their own food.
Soil: The mixture of tiny rocks and rotting plants that holds roots and gives plants nutrients.

What do plants need to grow well in KS1 Science?

Plants need water, sunlight, air, space, and suitable soil. When they have all these needs met, they can grow taller, make leaves, and sometimes produce flowers or fruit.

How can children look after plants in the classroom?

Children can gently water plants, make sure they are near light, remove fallen leaves, and tell an adult if a plant looks droopy, dry, or damaged.

Why is it important to care for plants?

Caring for plants is important because they give us oxygen, food, and habitats for animals. Looking after them also teaches responsibility and respect for living things.
