Plants - Senior Infants to First Class Resources and Lesson

Hi, here are some resources I've gathered for teaching this lesson. 

I hope it saves some teachers time searching for the same things.

I have gotten some PowerPoints for TES.co.uk  and some games from topmarks.co.uk and put them all together in one place.

1. I will begin with a KWL 

2. PowerPoint about what plants need to survive from Tes.co.uk very simple, below are just a few slides from the PowerPoint

2. Parts of a plant PowerPoint 

This PowerPoint is nice and simple and takes you through the parts of a plant and their functions also from TES.co.uk

3. Interactive activities

Help Sparky the Alien with activities on growing plants which include labelling parts of a plant, finding out what a seed needs to grow and the life cycle of plants.
