Check out more about how we developed our baseline and get access to it in our blog post here: sparxscience.com/blog/baselin...

In our baseline assessment we assess students' knowledge of plant structure across three different questions, giving teachers insight into how secure this knowledge is.

This gives them a great basis for when they start to learn about photosynthesis and plant structure in KS3, but teachers can often reteach the parts of a plant for students, even though this is already known.

in KS2 students need to know about the functions of different parts of plants, leaves and flowers and the requirements of plants for life and growth.
