NCES.3.L.2: Limited (1)
This is a 4 day lesson plan on soil. There is partial alignment in the resource that covers standard 3.L.2.4 and should be considered as part of a unit that would address that standard. The resource does not go into the parts of and functions of plants (3.L.2.1), or the stages of a seeds life cycle (3.L.2.3).

Engagement: Strong (2)
Scholars are actively participating in the four C's throughout the resource from the collecting of soil, to the planting of seeds and making notes of when they grow. The author could have been more explicit in the methods of collaboration and creativity but they are implied.

The resource suggests to use the Epic Books! site as part of instruction. This piece provides visual and auditory elements for scholars to stay engaged and help understand the concepts.
