Formative assessments include asking students to recall the flower's journey and having them sequence pictures of the life cycle. Summative assessment is having students correctly sequence the life cycle booklet. 3. The lesson connects to science and language arts standards about recognizing how plants grow and change, and answering questions about texts. Adaptations for special needs include showing two pictures at a time rather than five.

    Big Idea Statement
    Living things have unique characteristics which differ
    from non-living thing. The characteristics of living things
    can be observed and studied.
    Essential Questions
    How does a flower grow?
    Key Vocabulary
    Plant, Seed, Roots, Sprout, Flower, Bloom
    Pre-Assessment of Students
    Students will be asked what season we are in and what
    happens during spring. (See Activating Prior Knowledge
    Section.)
    Modeling of the Concept
    1. Read The Tiny Seed to students.
    While reading, ask: Do you think the tiny seed will
    be able to keep up with the others?, Why do you
    think the seed couldnt grow?, Do you think it is
    too late for the tiny seed to grow?, What do you
    think will happen to the flower now that it is fall?
    2. Review story with students.
    What happened to the tiny seed in the story?
    3. Explain that the plant started out as a seed and ended
    up as a flower at the end of the book. Explain that this
    is the life cycle of a flower.
    A life cycle is how something grows and
    changes.
    4. Explain parts of the life cycle of a flower to students.
    Put up picture steps for flower life cycle.
    Plant seed.
    Grows roots.
    Seed sprouts.
    Flower blooms.
    New seeds blow away.
    Guiding the Practice
    5. Now, we are going to act out the life cycle of a
    flower. Im going to show you first, and then we will do it
    together.
    Crouch down like a seed
    Stomp feet like roots digging into the soil
    Jump up tall like the seed sprouting
    Raise hands above head for blooming flower
    Hands wave in the air like seeds blowing away in
    the wind
    6. Students will sit back down on their tape.
    7. Next, we are going to put the pieces of the flower life
    cycle in order in a book.

    separated.
    The teacher will give you a bag of pages with the
    steps of the life cycle of a flower. You will put the
    pages in order and show it to the teacher. The
    teacher will tell you if your book is right and put it
    together for you. Then, you can color the pages if
    you have time.
    Transition: When moving to the tables, students will
    reach to the sky like flowers. Students will be called to
    the tables based on the color their name is written in on
    their name tag.
    Providing the Independent Practice
    8. Students will put pages of flower life cycle book in
    order and the teacher will staple it when they have put it
    in the correct order.
    If students have trouble with this step, the teacher
    may ask students to think about the journey the
    seed made in the book. The teacher may also
    reference what the children did when acting the
    life cycle out together.
    9. Students will color the book as time permits.
    10. If time, students will play with table toys on the
    carpet.
    Transition: When moving back to the circle, students will
    fly like a seed blowing in the wind.
    Adaptations/Accommodations for Students with Special Needs
    Students may be shown two pictures at a time as versus
    all five pictures. The teacher will ask the student which
    came first out of the pictures shown.
