Got Plants?
Driving Question:
How can we, as scientists, create an environment for plants to grow?
Project Summary: Students will investigate how we can create an environment for plants to grow? Students will gather information from nonfiction books, websites and guest speaker(s). They will write/draw and label the best environments for plants to grow. They will plant seeds, ensuring they have appropriate sun and water. They will measure and chart plant growth. They will identify important plant parts and functions and compare likenesses and differences in plants. They will create a 3D model of a plant with labels.

Focus Standards:
SKL1. Students will sort living organisms and non-living materials into groups by observable physical attributes.
SKL1. Students will sort living organisms and non-living materials into groups by observable physical attributes.
- Recognize the difference between living organisms and nonliving materials.
- Group plants according to their observable features such as appearance, size, etc.
Students kept plant journals to document their plant growth. They shared their products with 2nd graders.
