| Children should learn: |
- that light is the energy source of green plants
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Ask pupils where the plants that produced the burnt foods get their energy from. Remind them of plants' need for light to grow. This will help elicit pupils' knowledge of how plants acquire energy for growth. Pupils will probably recall exceptions,
eg
carnivorous plants, fungi. Reinforce this by devising food chains for typical habitats and trace the energy source back to sunlight.
|
|
- draw a food chain and extend it to show the link to sunlight and to themselves
