Encourage your UKS2 children to observe the natural world in detail with this Year 5 and Year 6 Think and Draw Like a Botanist resource. Pupils will discover why botanical illustrations were so important before the invention of photography, before using their observational skills to copy and draw their own botanical illustrations.

This cross-curricular resource can be used as an engaging art activity or as part of a Science lesson. It is perfect for use as part of the Year 6 Science topic Living Things and their Habitats, especially alongside our PPT and fact file about famous biologist Carolus Linnaeus.
