Plant Life Cycle PowerPoint

How can I use this Plant Life Cycle PowerPoint in my classroom?

Use our teacher-made Plant Life Cycle PowerPoint to build and support your children's understanding of how plants grow, develop, and reproduce. Perfect for 1st/2nd class pupils.

This interactive resource is bursting with fun facts and hand-drawn illustrations your kids will love. There are 10 slides in total, each of which describes a different stage of the plant life cycle, from seed to death and back to seed again. 

The colourful drawings bring the subject to life and help children absorb the information. And the higher-order questions at the end of the presentation are an excellent way to cement and review your kids' newfound knowledge. 

Twinkl Tip: Growing plants in class enables children to see how they develop in real-time. Practical projects like this are an effective way of reinforcing learning and getting kids excited about science. 

Are there other resources like this Plant Life Cycle PowerPoint?

We've got more plant life resources like this Plant Life Cycle PowerPoint to help your 1st/2nd class understand this topic, and also save you time in the process. Here's a couple we think you'll like:

• Help kids learn, or revise, what plants need to survive and grow with our Plants Need Worksheet. They'll learn why plants need water, light and soil.
• Our Plant Growth Prediction Worksheet is an activity you can do before a plant-growing experiment. Get kids to fill it in, and once the plants you've put in different conditions have grown (or not) they can check if they got everything right.
• This resource can also be used in the same lesson as activities like the Flowering and Non-Flowering Plants Sorting Activity.
• As part of the curriculum kids should get to know their local environment, so take a look at our The Trees of Ireland PowerPoint to help kids do just that. And to reinforce what they learn, you can hand out our fun Irish Trees Word Search after it.

What are the 5 stages of plant life cycle?

1. The seed is planted, either by a person or naturally when it falls on the ground.
2. Germination starts. This is the stage when the plant starts to sprout out of the seed and we can see a tiny green shoot.
3. The plant continues to grow, as long as it has enough water and sunlight.
4. Now the plant needs to reproduce. Plants use insects, the wind or even water to spread their seed.
5. Eventually the plant dies.
