The Lifecycle of a Flowering Plant

To explain the life cycle of a flowering

plant.

Investigating The Life

Cycle of Green Plants!

Think back to our learning from last week...

Talk, pair, share...

What did we learn about plants last week?

What were the male parts?

What were the female parts?

What are the different parts of a flowering

plant?

What were the functions of each part?

This week, we are going to continue our learning

journey about flowering plants by investigating what

is the life cycle of plant.

What is a lifecycle? What does it involve?

What does reproduction mean?What is a human lifecycle?

What is the lifecycle of a plant?How does a plant reproduce?

For the lifecycle of a flowering plant there

is a series of key vocabulary that we need

to use.With your partner do you know what these

words mean? germination pollinationfertilisation

seed production seed dispersal

What do you think the life cycle of a

green plant looks like?

With your partner can you draw what

you think the life cycle of a plant would

look like?

Now order your pictures of a

life cycle

Lets watch an example of the life cycle of a plant…

What have we learnt?

Were our ideas all correct?

Do we need to alter our ideas?

Independent Learning…

You are going to draw the life cycle of a

flowering plant. Think about the correct

sequence.

Draw cycle and label each stage.

Challenge: Can you explain what is

happening?

Draw and write a description of each

stage of the cycle.

Write a detailed explanation of each

stage, including all our key vocabulary

germination pollination fertilisation

seed production seed dispersal

What I am looking for. . . . .

I can explain the lifecycle of a

flowering plant using diagrams

I can use scientific vocabulary

when explaining the life cycle of a

plant.

I understand and can use the

vocabulary related to plant

lifecycles - pollination,

fertilization, seed production, seed

dispersal and germination

I can explain what happens during

each of the plant life cycle.

I can identify what happens each

season during the plant life cycle.

Tell your partner what you have learnt about

the life cycle of a plant this afternoon.

In which season would each of the processes

happen?

If we went out onto the play ground now

what processes would we see beginning to

happen?
