Plant Quiz/Game - 2 views

  •  
    This website is a quiz for k-1. Although it is a quiz, it is fun and has pictures so the students would not even realize that it is a quiz. I would have to read it to the kids because they would not be able to yet, but I do believe I would use this for them. I would not take a grade on it; I would do it to make sure they were on track.

How Plants Grow - Science Games & Activities for Kids - 1 views

  •  
    This is a game for kids to play about plants. In the game, the kids have to balance water and sun just right for the plant to grow or else it dies. This game is extremely beneficial for students to learn that plants need an equal balance of sun/water to stay allive. I would use this during the first part of my lesson.

Parts of Plants video - 1 views

    This is a video from teacher tube about the parts of plants and what they need. I would show this video on the day that the students would make their chart craft of the parts of plants. I feel like this would flow with the craft project perfectly.

Plant Adaptation-BrainPOP Jr. - 0 views

  •  
    This is a video/interactive game on BrainPOP Jr. about plant adaptions. It gives an overview of what a plant needs to survive and show different kinds of plants adapt to areas that don't have the necessary elements to live. The school needs a subscription to use this website. Given that the school would have it, I would use this in my lesson. This is different than just the regular lesson on the life cycle; it gives the students a different view of plants that they may have never seen before.

How Plants Grow booklet - 2 views

  •  
    This website gives the teacher a free printable booklet for students. In the activity, the students have to put in order (sequence) the life cycle of plants. This is exactly what the lesson as a whole is about so I feel that this would be perfect for them to make just as an enforcer. If the student would ever forget or be confused, they could look at their booklet as a refresher.

Plant Journal - 0 views

  •  
    This website has a printable journal for the student's to record their observations of a plant. For my lesson plan, I am going to have the students plant seeds and record their growth. This journal is more for first grade than just a plain piece of paper to write on. It additionally has a box in the daily journal pages to draw what the plant looks like. It is perfect for the students to see the changes in the plant day by day as well.

Missouri Botanical Garden Field Trip - 1 views

    This would be a perfect field trip to incorporate with my lesson abou plants. In the Children's Garden, the students would get a tour of the garden, learn about germination through three different stations and get to experience plants in real life. This would be so fun!

Parts of Plants Craft - 0 views

  •  
    This is a website from a first grade teacher's blog. I am using the pictures for a craft idea that I would use for my lesson plan. To understand the life cycle of a plant, the students would need to have a visual of all the parts of the plant. This is also great becuase they would label all of the parts and the elements of what a plant needs to survive. It is so cute, I love it!

Nasa-Nasa Kid's Club - 2 views

    I think this website is suitable for our Math/Science night because it caters to the lower elementary grades. This site has Buzz Lightyear games, galaxy games and interactive activities for the kids to learn information about space. It ties into astronomy great!
