Track Description
This unit, Plants Prosper: Watch Us Grow, will provide students with practice in learning about the parts of plants while plants are growing. Students record an exciting adventure of growth from the plants in their room to the trees outside the school and finally, to their own growth over a semester. The unit involves a long-term study of growth using the latest in tools of technology. Student groups plant fast-growing seeds in pots. A pattern is set for monitoring seed growth. A journal of plant growth is begun by groups of students and experiments are conducted related to light and watering. This unit addresses the Science Curriculum Standard in the Process of Science: Observing is a process used to develop an awareness of the surrounding environment. This unit will help students to overcome the stated learning gap of non-mastery of identifying the parts of plants.
