The Design Process Grade K Life Science Plants

shared by Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Amanda McCarthy on 12 Feb 12
     
    Students will help create a fake classroom garden out of craft materials to help them understand the design of a plant. They will have to understand the different parts a plant and how to put the parts together to create a plant. Post-It (diigo would not let me place a post-it on this pdf page): Students can work in pairs to construct their plants (high ability with a low ability student). Advanced students could put labels on thier plants' parts. Students in higher grades could construct certain species of plants and descibe what makes their plant unique.

      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.

      Life Science K.3.1 "Observe and draw physical features of common plants and animals." This activity can be adjusted for gifted students by allowing them to label their picture with the appropriate words for a plant. Using words such as "roots" or "xylem" would be excellent! This activity can be used for older grades by having the students compare two different celery stalks - one with water, and one without water. The students can then make a table or chart to compare and contrast the two different celery stalks.
  • Ashley Stewart on 15 Feb 12
     
    Students observe a stalk of celery over one to two days. The celery is placed into water (food coloring is added to the water). The students then record their observations about the water moving up the celery stalk. This is a great way for students to understand how plants transport water from their roots to their leaves!

      Giving each student a bean plant creates a sense of ownership and responsibility. The students will be able to watch the plant grow from a bean to a plant, watering and measuring it's growth each day. This would be a great activity for partnering- An ELL student could be paired with an English speaking student and they could work together as a team to take care of their plants and record plant growth.

      Kindergarten activity for Life Science...you can also chart the growth of the plants while going over plant parts
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      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!)

      Extensions: Life Science connects with Recycling (Environment). Adaptations: Gifted students can determine other parts of plants that can be used instead of throwing away.  ESL & Special Ed students can help with experiment or draw pictures of results of experiment.
  • Susan Shonle on 13 Feb 12
     
    Indoor Gardening with Kitchen Waste Introduce experiment by talking about the six basic parts of plants: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds.  Grow a garden by using plant scraps that usually get thrown away. Supplies: 2-3 carrot tops, cut about 1 inch from the top, shallow bowl, pebbles (optional), sand, water, 1 fresh pineapple, pot of damp soil.
  • Susan Shonle on 16 Feb 12
     
    Multi-grade project that can you can differentiate according to skill and prior knowledge (experience). Older grade levels can research other possible materials to recycle from the kitchen in other ways.

Differentiation: Have ELL students record their biome's progress and changes using a picture graph.
  • Liz Dilts on 16 Feb 12
     
    In this activity, students will make a mini biome in the bottom of a one liter bottle.  Students will be able to plant a seed and give it certain nutrients to watch it grow, adapt, and change to its environment. 
  • thennessy on 18 Feb 12
     
    state standard: 1.3.2 Great way to keep kids interested over a long period of time. The kids are excited to see what their biome is doing/ how things are frowing. You can explain that everything the plant needs to grow is in the biome. A enrichment idea off this activity would be to try and simulate the different conditions in each biome to an enviornment that is in our world (desert vs rainforest) and see how that affects each biome.

      A lot of ways you could adapt this for ELL learners or Special needs 1st grade
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      Adaptions: You can adapt this activity for ELL and special needs by doing an into to the bufferfly lifecycle, you can include books, do drawings charting the life cycle. While you are doing this you can have the students make a vocabulary journal identifying vocabulary used in the butterfly life cycle. Extensions: I think ALL grades would love this activity, you would want to add things to the activity depending on the grade level. For example, for 2nd graders you can have them journal and write stories about their butterflies, 3rd grade you can have them define different types of butterfies and then see which type they have from their habitats, 4th graders can identify different locations you may find different types of butterflies, and for kindergarten you can identify differences between butterflies and moths....etc!
  • Jessica Buell on 12 Feb 12
     
    1.3.4 Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live. 1.3.5 Observe and describe ways in which animals and plants depend on one another for survival. 1.3.2 Observe organisms closely over a period of time in different habitats such as terrariums, aquariums, lawns and trees. Draw and write about observations. 1.4.3 Construct a simple shelter for an animal with natural and human-made materials.

    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      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.

  • This is a great opportunity to talk about electricity as a form of energy and its conversion into heat, light and motion, and vice versa. Also, it's a good time to discuss how a power plant works and perhaps organize a field trip to a wind farm, solar energy farm, or power plant. Solar panels make very exciting demos and are avaiable at SEP. Also, consider helping make your school a solar school.

      4.2.1 "Demonstrate and describe how smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks in a process that occurs over a long period of time."
    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
       
      This would be a great language development activity for ELL students- they could be challenged to use adjectives to describe what they are seeing during the weathering process. 
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    The rocks that compose the Earth's crust are subjected to a variety of forces. Depending on the environmental factors at work, the rocks can be altered in size or in composition. Factors such as wind, water, plants, and animals cause weathering, physical changes in rocks that affect their size. However, physical changes do not affect the composition of rock. In this activity you will see the effect of physical weathering on rocks.
