Introduction

Instructions

Lesson Procedure

We will be adding onto the students knowledge about

CK
ecosystems that they will be talking about for a 9-week
period. This lesson the students will be learning the
structures of a plant that are responsible for food
production, support, water transport, reproduction, growth,
and protection -- which is the PA standard. Since the
students will be working with virtual and real plants they
will get a large understanding on what different parts do
what for each different plant.
Activating Prior Knowledge
Ask how plants get food and water.
Ask what they already know about the parts of a
plant and what they do
Hook/Lead-In/Anticipatory Set
Time laps video on a plant from seed to flower.
Big Idea Statement
All of a parts of a plant are important for the survival
of each plant.
Essential Question Statement
What are all of the different parts of a plant and what
do they do?
Objective Statement
The students will individually describe and identify
all of the parts on a flower with 80% accuracy.
Transition
Match the flower to the plant game on the white
board

and label its parts and describe what they do

Guiding the Practice
Have the students come up to the board and label
the different parts on each plant and flower, and
have them describe what that parts function is
Providing the Independent Practice
Give them their own real flowers and let them label
and describe the parts of a flower on a piece of
paper.
Transition
Read a book on flowers, their parts, and what they
do.
