Kindergarten activity for Life Science...you can also chart the growth of the plants while going over plant parts

Adaptions: be sure to go over vocabulary. Also, you can chart and draw picture step by step of how the students are to put together their "greenhouses" Extensions: You can extend this to higher grades by discussing the water cycle and demonstrating how the water cycle created moisture in the greenhouses in order to water the seeds. Also, if possible you can plan a fiend trip to a greenhouse, (a lot of times these are FREE and they will do demonstrations and age appropriate activities with the students!)

I have changed this to a Kindergarten activity

Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students find the flowers and sketch them for their group, then they can assist the group in identifying the habitat and descriptions. (This will help ELL students enhance their vocabulary) Extensions: You can extend this activiy by having students create a venn diagram and identify similarities and differences. Older grades can also extend the activity by researching their plants/flowers more (locations it is found, type of flower, how effecte environment...etc) and creating a poster board that they will present in the class.

Students can plant all different types of plants. This project could be used for older students who are learning more details about plants or who are trying to do experiments on what makes plants grow best. ELL and special needs students could help by planting the seeds in the box when first constructing the garden. Advanced students could draw and label the parts of the plants that were planted.
