Discover a fantastic way to bring the natural world into your classroom with our new Science plants template eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for Reception-aged children, this engaging activity helps little learners explore the life cycle of a plant through observation, creativity, and hands-on discovery.
In this lesson, children will learn the basic parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. They will also explore what plants need to grow and stay healthy, such as sunlight, water, and soil. By using this Science plants template eyfs core, teachers can guide their class through simple experiments, such as planting broad bean seeds and recording their observations in a structured, easy-to-follow format.
This resource is fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), specifically supporting the Understanding the World: The Natural World area of learning. It encourages children to make observations of plants and explain why some things occur, fostering a sense of curiosity about the environment.
Our Science plants template eyfs core is designed at the expected standard for children aged 3-5. It provides clear visual prompts that help pupils develop their scientific vocabulary. Teachers can use this as a standalone activity or as part of a longer topic on seasonal changes and gardening.
To check understanding, we have included these five questions for your class:
1. What are the three things a plant needs to grow big and strong?
2. Can you point to the stem on your plant? What does it do?
3. How does the plant change from a seed to a seedling?
4. If a plant does not get any water, what do you think will happen to it?
5. Why are the leaves usually a green colour?
