HOW TO ENGAGE PRIMARY PUPILS IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SCIENTIFIC ISSUES
PLANTS MATTER - PART ONE
The lesson could begin with a general discussion about the ways in which plants are important and the pupils are asked to imagine lovely 'planty' places.
The teacher then reads out 12 words and the pupils write down the first plant-type word which comes into their head associated with the word the teacher has read out.
Examples of words:
- forest
- seeds
- pollen
- fruits
- seeds
