A seed bank is a place where seeds are kept safely to conserve different species of plants for the future.

Conservation is the act of protecting Earth’s natural resources for current and future generations.

A crop is a plant that is grown to be sold, often as food.

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
