Year 2 curriculum
The Year 2 science curriculum in England guides students through identifying common plants and their structures, understanding plants’ growth needs (like air, light, water and nutrients) and exploring plant life cycles.
It encourages practical investigations for students to observe seed and bulb growth into mature plants. This teaches children how conditions like water, light and temperature affect plant health.
