Manor Primary School Science Year 3: Investigating What Helps Plants Grow! Overview of the Learning: In this unit of learning children will investigate about what plants need to grow well and why it is important that they do. Experimental and investigative work focuses on: considering what evidence should be collected ; making careful measurements ; considering how good the evidence is and using results to draw conclusions. Work in this unit also offers opportunities for children to relate their knowledge about the growth of plants to everyday contexts. Core Aims Pupils should be taught to work scientifically. They will: develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the asking relevant questions and using different types of scientific enquiries to answer them specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics about humans and setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests other animals making systematic and careful observations and, where appropriate, taking accurate measurements using standard units, using a range of develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science equipment, including thermometers and data loggers through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of scientific questions about the world around them ways to help in answering questions are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the recording findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables uses and implications of science, today and for the future. reporting on findings from enquiries, including oral and written explanations, displays or presentations of results and conclusions using results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions identifying differences, similarities or changes related to simple scientific ideas and processes straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings. Pupils should be taught about What Helps Plants Grow: identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers
