Fascinating Fact:

Healthy plants make seeds, so when they get enough light, water, air, soil, and space, they can grow new plants.

In KS1 Science, children discover that plants are living things which need the right conditions to grow. By giving plants light, water, air, soil, and space, we help them stay healthy.

Key Terms

Roots: The part of a plant that grows underground and takes in water.
Stem: The part that holds the plant up and carries water to the leaves.
Leaves: Flat green parts that use light, air, and water to make food for the plant.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are the basic things plants need to grow?

Plants need sunlight, water, air, and nutrients from soil. They also need enough space for their roots and leaves. Without these, plants will not grow properly.

Water helps plants stay firm and move nutrients around. Soil holds the roots in place and contains nutrients that help the plant grow strong and healthy.

Children can grow seeds in different places, changing one thing like light or water. By comparing them, they see which conditions help plants grow best.
