Science - Plants

Last week we learnt about how water is transported through the plant. You may

have conducted some research by watching a video and making notes, inferring

and predicting results from an investigation or explored water transportation

hands on with food dye. Remember - don’t forget to keep up with any growing

investigation you started a few weeks ago and continue to record your

observations and results.

Some of the factors and terminology that we learnt last week:

Transportation – Water is absorbed from the soil and transportation is the process of the water

travelling around the plant to places its needed in order to produce food and grow.

Water – A requirement of the plant for making their own food and healthy living.

Xylem – The Xylem is a soft tube found within the stem of the plant that transports water from the

roots (where it’s absorbed from the soil) towards the leaves and other parts of the plants.

Phloem – The Phloem is another tube in the stem which transports the food made with the water (by

photosynthesis) to the other parts of the plant.

This week you will be: Exploring the life cycle of plants.

Can I name the parts of a plant?

Can I explain the different stages of a flowering plants life cycle?

Can I design my own model to show a method for seed dispersal?

Challenge: Can I explain my understanding to a family member or peer?

This week we have three options for you to have a go at:

Page 2) Watch the video and have a go at showing what you have learnt in the diagram provided.

Page 4) Take a look around nature.

Page 5) Design your own seed model to show a method for seed dispersal.

Task Option 1: Life Cycle Of A Plant Research.

Plants grow from seeds and bulbs… but what are the different stages in their life and what are these

stages called? How do the seeds travel from the parent plant to where they will grow on their own?

This week we would like you to research this process.

First watch one the following video to find out about the life

cycle of a plant:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcSgaUBwIn4

or

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YETcAv_gRLE

Next watch the video again, but this time take notes on the different life

stages of a plant. This can be a bullet point list, full sentences or diagrams of the

different stages with annotations.

Now we would like you to think about what you have learnt. You could show this by completing the

diagram of a flowering plants life cycle on the next page:

Can you either cut and glue the pictures into the right sections of the diagram or draw your

own version of the pictures? Can you write a short description of what is happening at each

stage using your notes from the video?

Challenge: For your challenge, we would like you to do some research on the different

methods of seed dispersal. Can you show the different methods in a diagram or picture?

Life Cycle Of A Flowering Plant

Task Option 2: Take A Look Around Nature.

The next time you’re on a daily walk around your local area or out in your garden, keep an eye out for

any plants you may see. There are loads of plants out and about now, in people’s gardens, fields and

woodlands. Many of these appear at different times of the year and so are in different stages of

life.

Can you draw a picture or take a photograph to show plants you have found in different stages of

life? Can you find out the name of the plant you have found (or do you already know it)? Can you find

out which method of seed dispersal it uses?

Picture of the plant

Name of plant and stage of

life cycle

Method of seed dispersal

and reasons why

Dandelion Plant

Seed formation/seed

dispersal

I think the seeds are

dispersed by the wind

because the seeds have a

light feathery appearance.

Challenge: Can you find an example of each stage of a flowering plants life cycle?

Task Option 3: Design Your Own Seed…

Now you have learnt about the life cycle of plants, you will realise how important the design of seeds

is for spreading the new plant to a new area! Can you design and make your own seed? Can you explain

the method your seed would use to travel away from the parent plant?

Above are four examples of seed models. Can you guess which method each one is designed for? Why

do you think that?

Remember that seeds travel by:

Wind Water Bursting Animals

Which method will you pick to use for your seed? What features do you need to include to make the

seed effective at travelling by that method?

Challenge: Why do you think it is important that seeds travel away from the parent plant? Can you

explain this to a family member or friend?

In history we are looking at the Luddites.

Luddite is a term used to describe people who dislike new

technology. But the movement started in Britain when textile

factories were built. In the Colne Valley there were many reports

of machine breaking and burning down factories.

Who were the Luddites?

Why did the Luddites destroy machine?

Did the Luddites achieve anything?

Would you have supported the Luddites?

Read the information on the powerpoint and then choose an activity

Produce a poster of a piece of modern technology (phones,

weapons, machinery) that you think has harmed people. Explain

why, and try and encourage people to destroy the equipment!

Imagine you are in the Government or a Mill owner, your poster

should discourage people from destroying mills, explain why!

Art

Have you heard of the artist Leonardo Da Vinci?

Watch these video clips to find out more about his life

and work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yprd9mNPYRU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwOlIGGDVjE

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01d6hx6

As well as being a great artist, Da Vinci was also a keen inventor,

years ahead of his time.

Can you invent a machine?

Can you draw a picture of your invebtion and explain what it does?

Can you create you machine using materials from your home?

You could also have a go at some art activities inspired by Da Vinci.
