Keystage 2 - Gardens - What plants need

Before you grow your own plants, you need to think about what plants need to survive.
  

The survival game - an outdoor, running around game!

Make six sets of the following cards. Decorate with pictures and laminate.
Carbon dioxide Water
Light Nutrients

  1. You are plants. Your survival depends on you collecting all of the cards.
  2. You will need to choose 3 people from the class to be drought, lack of nutrients and a seed eating bird! They could wear coloured sports tops so they stand out.
  3. Get a member of the class to scatter the cards.
  4. You have three minutes to run around and collect up the cards. If drought, lack of nutrients or the bird tags you, then you have to throw your cards down and start again.
  5. The survivors are those who have picked up one of each card.
