The kids helped label the parts of there plant. We also used this chart to discuss the needs of plants. Ignore my lack of artistic ability!!
To go along with the unit I put together an all about plants book. We are been working through it a little bit everyday. The kids love having their own book full of activities.
We also put together a Lima bean observation project. Each child got a zip-lock bag, Lima bean, and a damp paper towel. We taped the bean down to the paper towel. Before we taped our beans into the windows, the children drew what their beans looked like on day one.
My first graders have has a blast checking their seeds progress everyday. We're on day 7 of this project and haven't seen much growth yet...here's to hoping the sun will shine and let our sees grow!!
