{"product_id":"homes-for-living-things-year-1","title":"Homes for Living Things - Year 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuild Year 1 children's understanding of how places meet the needs of living things. This practical unit moves from noticing needs and habitat features to asking safe questions, recording genuine plant observations and explaining a simple habitat model with evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChildren learn that animals need food, water, air and suitable places to live, while plants need water, light, air and suitable conditions. They compare different plant and animal examples, connect a habitat feature to a need and distinguish an observation from an illustration or source fact. A credited Australian platypus case provides a useful comparison with familiar garden and pet examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full route includes ten approximately 60-minute lessons. The eight-session route combines selected parts of Lessons 1–2 and 9–10 and retains all essential teaching and assessment. Healthy-plant observations take place over real days or weeks between sessions, with normal suitable care maintained throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-page Unit Plan PDF with a clean contents page, teacher guidance, ten detailed lesson plans, an eight-session route and 30 classroom resource pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen separate editable lesson PowerPoints: ten slides each, 100 lesson slides in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditable 24-slide quiz PowerPoint with ten questions and separate answers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo colour displays: Key Ideas and How We Explain Our Evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight case\/source cards across two pages, including a credited platypus case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence Trail game: rules and worked turn, six-stop board and challenge cards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen worksheets with ten matching answer or response-criteria pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHabitat-model assessment organiser, individual evidence-conference page and rubric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable of Contents JPG, complete 174-page watermarked Preview PDF and three listing-copy TXT files.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLesson sequence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e01 Living things need things\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e02 Habitats provide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e03 Plants in places\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e04 Ask a safe question\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e05 Observe over time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e06 Animal homes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e07 When a feature changes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e08 Build the habitat explanation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e09 Habitat conference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Care with evidence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAssessment and answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollect genuine dated plant records, a habitat model and individual explanations.
