    • We are FOCUSING on the Plant Kingdom in order to identify and define sub-divisions under this kingdom.
    • We are FOCUSING on the scientific classification so that we learn how to describe the key features of the Plant Kingdom.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    -> identify and describe all the key features of the plant kingdom

    -> explain the different subcategories and give some examples

    -> use a tree diagram to clearly map out, label and/or illustrate the plant kingdom and its sub-categories

    1. Draw a tree diagram to show how different plants are categorised.
    2. List in 3-5 bullet points how each sub-category is unique (features, characteristics).
    3. Give 2-3 examples of plants for each sub-categories.
    4. Do the quiz of seedless plants.
