What is our theme? Spring has sprung

What is the lesson (overall purpose)?  To identify and describe the basic structure of a common flowering plant. 

MA Guidelines/Standards: Characteristics of living things 

Learning Outcomes: Your child will enjoy observing and describing the growth of a seed. ( roots, stem, leaves )



Songs, Books & Videos (Motivational Techniques)
Show your child a bean seed. Ask questions: What do you think this seed needs to grow? When this seed begins to grow what do you think happens first? Then tell your child they  are going to do a science experiment that will show them how a seed grows into a plant.


Materials: Jar, water, paper towel or napkin

Activity (Procedure): 
  1. Swirl some water around in your jar
  2. Roll up a piece of paper towel or napkin and put it inside the jar pressing it against the glass
  3. put the jar with the Bean in it on a windowsill where it will get plenty of light.
  4. After a few days your bean should start to sprout roots
  5. Be sure to have your child add water to the paper towel keeping it moist

Activity Wrap Up: Your child will demonstrate eagerness and curiosity watching the seed grow into a plant

How do I know what my child is learning?  (Assessment) Can your child describe the basic structure of a flowering plant? What came from the seed first? ( roots ) What came next? ( stem ) etc.

How can you extend this activity? (Modifications) Have a few jars with a seed in them and put the jars in different locations around the house. ( In a closet so the seed has no light ) Put too much water in one jar. Don’t put any water in one of the jars. Which seed grew the best?

Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions) If you don’t have a jar you can use a glass. Must be able to see through the glass.
