MY LITTLE SCIENCE PROJECT

Decorate Your Plant

Design an imaginary plant with leaves, flowers, pods and seeds. Draw on screen or use the printable cutouts.

For the paper version, ask a grown-up to help cut out the pieces. Arrange them on a fresh sheet before gluing. For the screen version, draw your own pieces in the spaces below and write about your design. This is a creative craft: your imaginary plant does not have to match a real bean plant.

With a grown-up: use untreated planting beans; do not eat seeds or sprouts. Keep small seeds away from younger children. Wash hands after handling. An adult should discard any mouldy setup.

LOOK · THINK · TRY

Explore before you start.

Arranging shapes builds spatial awareness and fine motor skills. Talking about your choices develops descriptive language.

Look at the picture, talk about what you notice, then use the drawing and writing spaces below. Open the picture for a closer look.

Arrange before you glue

Choose a stem, then try different positions for your leaves, flowers and pods. Move the pieces around until you like the arrangement.

Make a pattern

Try alternating small and large leaves, or repeating two colours. Describe your pattern so someone else could continue it.

Art and science together

Your craft can be imaginary. Compare it with your real bean plant afterward: what is the same, and what did you invent?

Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.
