Pupils needing extra support

Should be involved in placing the seeds in the different conditions; 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?; 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).
