This lesson explores the parts of a flower, the importance of flowers, how flowers grow, and the process of pollination. Students are actively engaged as they learn about flowers and discover flowers
This is the second lesson plan that goes with the series of four lesson plans for the book Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly. This lesson focuses on vibrations, sounds, and music. The final project is
This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening
What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How
After completing a ratio table and researching the benefits of the ingredients in chicken feed, students will now be able to build a bag of chicken feed for a local farmer!
This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic
Stage one of a 4 stage project. Students will research crops and seasons to create a blueprint that will serve as the guidelines for building a small functioning farm.
This lesson plan walks you through our engineering of a garden box and extended lesson of our plant growth.
