Ict Lesson 2

This lesson plan is for a Year 2 science class about trees. The students will investigate the lifecycle of apple trees by collecting data using iPads. They will work in groups to create a poster highlighting the main points about how apple trees grow and produce fruit. To do this, the students will watch an educational video, brainstorm facts in their groups, and map out the information using a digital tool. Their posters will then be shared online for assessment of what they have learned about how apple farmers care for orchards.
