Science

In this Reproduction and life cycles: plants unit, pupils learn to describe the life process of reproduction in some plants. In the Evolution and inheritance unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents

In the What plants do and what they need unit, pupils learnt to explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants. In this Reproduction and life cycles: plants unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to describe the life processes of reproduction in some plants

his unit explores the life process of reproduction in plants and animals. It focuses on planning scientific enquiries, measuring with precision, recording complex data, and using test results to make predictions. Emphasis is on presenting findings, and evaluating scientific evidence.
