    The document provides a lesson plan for teaching 3rd grade students about the life cycle of plants. The lesson uses a 5E instructional model (engage, explore, explain, extend, evaluate). Students will plant seeds and observe the growth and changes to the plants over several weeks, measuring and recording observations in journals. They will learn about the needs of plants, different stages of growth, and compare plant development. Formative and summative assessments are built into the lesson to check student understanding.

    Lesson Title: Life Cycle of a Plant Grade level: 3rd Grade SCIENCE—5E

    Kristi Staton

    Standard:

    3.6.4 Take, record, and display counts and simple measurements of things over time, such as
    plant or student growth

    Unpacked:

    Knowledge Skills

    How to measure Observe

    How to take notes Measure

    Objective(s):

    The student will measure their plant at least 5 different times.

    The student will record measurements in a journal at least 5 different times.

    The student will observe and record plant growth in journal at least 5 different times.

    The student ill plant a seed and begin to observe the complete life cycle of flowering plants
    grown from seeds over a period of time.

    Assessment (EVALUATION):

    Mini T/F quiz to assess today’s understanding

    Brief students on their ongoing assignment:

    Over the weeks students will:

    Note down when they water their plant

    Measure the heights of the plant

    Keep a journal to illustrate each stage of growth

    (Teacher will collect journal at the end of each week to check for understanding)

    Prep/Materials:

    Get book, A Seed in Need: A First Look at the Plant Cycle by Sam Godwin and Simone Abel.

    Kristi Staton

    Grow 2 plants to use in classroom to show and let students compare.

    Gather enough seeds, pots, and gardening tools for students.

    Prepare journals for students or have folders for students to keep for unit.

    Make copies of t/f quiz to be used during first lesson.

    INTRODUCATION (ENGAGE):

    Teacher brings in 2 real live plants. (Gardner, Visual/Spatial)

    What are the parts of a plant? (Blooms, Knowledge)

    What part do you think is the beginning part of the plant? (Blooms, Knowledge)

    What do you think are the stages of a plant cycle? (Blooms, Analysis)

    How long ago do you think the seed was planted? (Blooms, Analysis)

    What do you think the seed looks like? (Blooms, Knowledge)

    Compare the plants (Blooms, Analysis)

    Which plant is bigger? Why do you think it is?

    Which plant is smaller?

    How old do you think each plant is?

    STEP-BY-STEP (EXPLORE and EXPLAIN):

    1. In groups of 3-4, students will plant the seeds. (Gardner, Interpersonal)

    2. Before planting seeds students will be assigned a plot.

    Teacher will decide where each student will plant their seeds. Outside/in a pot
    outside/in a pot inside

    3. Teacher will demonstrate how to use the gardening tools and safety precautions.

    4. Students will dig soil, plant seeds, and install plastic labels.

    5. Teacher will talk about the difference between wants and needs and then talk about how
    plants have needs also.

    6. Teacher will read the book A Seed in Need: A First Look at the Plant Cycle by Sam Godwin and
    Simone Abel. (Gardner, Intrapersonal)

    7. Discuss the needs of seeds and how they need air, water, and warmth.

    8. Discuss the needs of a plant and how they need air, water, sunlight and nutrients in order to
    survive.

    9. Tell students for the next few weeks they will be measuring and recording how their plant is
    growing. Each day during science they will record the changes and once a week measure the
    growth of their plant. Once a week students will be able to look at the different plots and
    compare how the plants look. (Blooms, Analysis)

    CLOUSURE (EXTEND)

    Teacher will ask pupils

    What happens if there is no water? (Blooms, Knowledge)

    In places where farmers grow crops, what happens if there is a drought? (Blooms,
    Application)

    If I grow the seed in the cupboard, will it germinate? (Blooms, Evaluation)

    Explain to students that throughout the next few weeks we will be learning more about plants
    and the different needs of a plant. Also tell students that we are going to pay close attention to
    our plants to see how they grow and what happens if we take away one of the needs. Tell
    students that next Monday will be the first day we will measure out plants and will review
    measurements during math time today and tomorrow.

    ADAPTATIONS/ENRICHMENTS (DIFFERENTIATION IDEAS)

    Student with a learning disability in math: Have groups assigned and place students that are
    more helpful and patient with student with learning disability so he/she can explain the process
    in detail.

    Student with gifts and talents in creativity: Have student create a 3-D model of the plant at
    the end of the unit to show the parts of a plant.
