Growing a plant - Level 2 and 3 of the simulation

Level 3
Pupils use ICT to save information and to find and use appropriate stored information, following straightforward lines of enquiry. They use ICT to generate, develop, organise and present their work. They share and exchange their ideas with others. They use sequences of instructions to control devices and achieve specific outcomes. They make appropriate choices when using ICT-based models or simulations to help them find things out and solve problems. They describe their use of ICT and its use outside school.

Pupils cannot achieve a higher level on this type of exercise. Next steps would be to create spreadsheets to monitor the plant growth of real plants to see what difference variable quantities of water, heat and light make. A web cam could be used for a series of photographs!
