Using the Environment KS2

Resource Bank is a series of English, Maths and Science books that reflect current trends in teaching.

They are structured to reflect the current approach of whole-class teaching followed by small group/individual and class review.

Plants will be used as an easy source of wide diversity and adaption. The sections of the book will each concentrate on one 'project' incorporating several activities. These projects, offering contexts for sorting, naming and measuring plants, minibeasts and the surrounding environment will include: Woodlice world Compost! Exploring woodland Slug science Wrap Up!
