Year 2 Plants – Plant Growth Lesson 6: Did My Bean Grow? Lesson Pack

This Year 2 Plants – Plant Growth lesson pack brings together pupils’ learning by exploring how plants grow and change over time. Aligned with the National Curriculum, pupils use their observations to explain the stages of plant growth and describe what plants need to stay healthy.

Through structured discussion and written tasks, pupils reflect on their own bean plant investigations and use evidence gathered across the unit to explain growth over time. They describe each stage of development, from seed to mature plant, and consider how light, water and temperature affect plant health.

What’s included in this lesson pack?

• Step-by-step lesson plan with clear teaching guidance
• Interactive Year 2 science PowerPoint slides for whole-class teaching
• Bean Stages of Growth worksheet to support written observations
• Bean Growth Observation Log and outdoor observation prompt sheet to support ongoing observations
• Assessment questions and key vocabulary support

What pupils will learn

• How plants grow and change over time from seed to mature plant
• How to explain plant growth using their own observations
• What plants need to stay healthy, including light, water and suitable temperature
• How to write up scientific observations using appropriate vocabulary

Working scientifically in KS1

Pupils use their observations and ideas to suggest answers to scientific questions. They draw on evidence gathered across the unit to explain plant growth and identify how different conditions affect plant health. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
