Through this unit children learn about plants and animals in their immediate environment and how differences between places very close to each other result in a different range of plants and animals being found. They learn that like humans, plants and other animals reproduce.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- turning ideas into questions that can be investigated
- presenting results
- drawing conclusions.
Work in this unit also offers opportunities to relate understanding of science to the local environment, to consider how to treat living things and the environment with care and sensitivity and to recognise hazards to themselves and to take action to control the risks from these hazards.
This unit takes approximately 9 hours.
This unit supports citizenship: 3, 6
