Investigate the importance of plants and animals in our lives. Discover what animals and plants can be found in the local area. Investigate the structure of a plant and discover their roles. Understand that plants play an important role in the survival of animals by looking at simple food chains/webs.
Identify and name parts of a flowering plant and tree. Take part in sensory games and activities to learn all about plants. Identify different trees by their leaves, find out about how they grow and why they are important.
What season is it? How do we know? We will explore the natural environment through our senses and exciting environmental games. Pupils can develop an enhanced awareness of their natural environment and how it changes throughout the year.
A day investigating the plants and animals of the local area. Pupils will identify a variety of plants and describe their basic structure and what they need to grow. Pupils will discover why plant are important for animals and how they interact. They will be able to identify and name…
During this day pupils will learn about a variety of habitats and micro-habitats. They will investigate how living things are adapted to the environment they live in and how their habitats help them to survive. Pupils will have the opportunity to identify a range of plants and invertebrates and investigate…
Use maps, stories and games to explore the area. Discover the plants and animals that live here and design and build dens for Barnaby Bear.
Students will investigate the key features of one small scale local ecosystem and investigate the interdependence of abiotic and biotic components. Students gain practical experience in fieldwork skills and techniques. They will undertake an introduction to sampling and carry out small scale fieldwork project using a range of equipment. Data…
Students will study the invertebrates in a pond and consider their adaptations, relationships and requirements, and how this relates to the distribution of invertebrates. Fieldwork includes designing their own fieldwork technique as a group and collecting data using standard dip-netting. Students will also have an opportunity to evaluate their methodology…
Students will investigate different terrestrial habitats to compare and contrast invertebrates and abiotic variables. Students gain practical experience in fieldwork skills and techniques. They undertake investigations into different habitats and the invertebrates which live there. Data will be collected, presented and analysed using various techniques. .
Students will Investigate the differences in habitats using ecological sampling techniques. They will use appropriate sampling techniques to investigate the distribution and abundance of organisms in an ecosystem via direct use in the field (to include: biotic and abiotic factors). They will use of appropriate apparatus to make and record…
