Explore the amazing adaptations of plants by observing unique physical characteristics that enable them to survive in various habitats. Students will observe the anatomy of a flower and the structure of leaves to help understand their evolutionary purpose and what they need to survive and thrive.
Students will:
- Use microscopes to observe plant structures
- Observe plant features that enable them to survive in various habitats
- Go on a discovery walk
Key focuses:
- Plant adaptations, structure, function and evolution
- Why different plants grow and change in different habitats
- What plants need to thrive
Curriculum links:

- Levels 5 and 6
- Habitats can be described by their physical conditions; changing the physical conditions of a habitat, including by human activity, may affect the growth and survival of organisms VC2S6U01
- Organisms have evolved over time, as seen in fossils and scientific records; the structural features and behaviours of living organisms enable them to thrive in their environments VC2S6U02
- Investigable questions and reasoned predictions can be used in guiding investigations to identify patterns and test relationships VC2S6I01
