Spotlight On… Teaching Primary School Students About Plants

Plants is a fun topic for students to learn about. They gain an understanding of the different parts of a plant, as well as explore their life.

That’s why we wanted to tell you more about the fantastic content we have to help you do this in your classroom within our Science module.
