Introduction
- State what a plant is
- Classify plants and have an understanding of how the groups of plants differ
- Review MRSGREN
Key Idea 1: The conditions seeds need to germinate.
Learning Outcomes:
- State what happens if the conditions are not suitable for germination.
- Determine how to investigate the conditions needed for seeeds to germination using fair testing methods.
Key Idea 2: Explain the conditions plants need to grow
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the raw materials needed for photosynthesis
- Identify the main product of photosynthesis and how to test for it.
- Compare photosynthesis and respiration and recognize the reverse reaction.
Key Idea 3:
Explain how plants get the water required for photosynthesis.
Learning Outcomes:
- Use diagrams to show the structure of roots and root hairs and describe how they contribute to the process of photosynthesis.
- Describe the 3 main functions of roots i.e. transport, anchorage, absorption.
- Describe the process of osmosis as movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane
- Describe the basic structure of the stem and how they contribute to the process of photosynthesis.
- Explain transpiration as a movement of water up the xylem and out of the leaves.

Key Idea 4:
Explain how the structure of leaves are important in the overall
functioning of the plant.
Learning Outcomes:
- Use a microscope to show the leaf structure – chloroplasts, stoma and guard cells. palisade, spongy mesophyll and cuticle in diagrams.
- Draw and label guard cells and stomata and explain their function.
- Show the movement of gases in and out of the stomata.
- Describe how CO2 moves into the stroma and into the cells.
Key Idea 5: How do plants reproduce?
