In this video, students learn that plants produce seeds in order to reproduce. When a seed is fertilized, with the right conditions, it will germinate, starting the life of a new plant. Students will see different seeds in the video.
In this slideshow, students learn the primary functions of roots and stems. They learn that roots do more than draw water and nutrients into the plant. Roots also help support the plant. Stems help distribute water and nutrients all over the plant and also support the plant's leaves and flowers.
Through this website students can learn about seeds and how they grow by conducting their own plant investigation and sharing their thoughts with other kids.
In this three-month project, students investigate the best conditions for growing plants. Students create a problem statement, develop a study plan, test their ideas and use construction technology and computer technology as tools for research, planning, recording data and communicating.
Students use stick puppets to explain the various methods plants use to disperse their seeds.
In this lesson, students will become familiar with the parts of the plant and methods of seed dispersal. In addition, students will serve as a vector to pick up seeds and analyze the variety of items accumulated in the process.
In this activity, students will learn the parts of algae, compare them to land plants, and rotate through exploration stations to investigate seaweed close up with their different senses.
In this lesson, students review the three main parts of a tree. They complete a worksheet to learn the parts of a tree that are used in identification. Students play a game and act out how a tree meets its basic needs. They then label and put in order the life stages of a tree. As a conclusion, students draw their own tree, label it, and write a paragraph about how that tree is identified.
Students will identify the different parts of trees and the purposes they serve and how these features help them live in different environments. Students will also read the book "A Tree is Nice" by Janice May Udry.
In this lesson, students will identify and sort plant parts through hands-on activities and group discussions and then work with magnifying lenses and tape measures to document their observations on a student sheet.
In this activity, students will be using micro:bits to explore how plant growth is impacted by sunlight. They will use the data they collect to create a line graph to display their results and then make real world predictions based on their data.
Curriculum Connections:
How do plants survive in their environments? (3.L.1, 3.L.2.2)
How can data be shared in various ways to convey the same information? (K2-DA-03)
How can data be used to make predictions about the real world? (K2-DA-04)
