Pupils needing extra support

Could draw pictures of the plant pots using symbols to represent the conditions as opposed to completing the Activity: What do seeds need to grow?; should be involved in placing the seeds in the different conditions; could draw symbols with no entry signs on sticky notes to place beside the plant pots to label the test conditions.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could be asked to explain why the fridge presents a challenge in test C; could suggest how often the seeds should be watered by creating a rota; could explain why it is necessary to plant some seeds in standard conditions, e.g. so that they can be compared with the plant growth in each of the test conditions.
