Procedure
Pre-Assessment of Students
I will ask my students if they know of any plants that are
found in PA. I am assuming that most students will not
now the names of the plants so we will be taking a field
trip to Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve in New Hope,
PA.
Modeling of the Concept
When we arrive back from the field trip I will create a
wanted poster on the smart board for my favorite PA
plant. I will create a list of everything that needs to be in
the description under the picture of the plant that is
wanted. I will walk around the room and point to the
labeled signs at different locations where the supplies
for the poster are located. I will show my students how
to find the information we saved from the field trip on
their iPad using the app Garden Answers Plant
Identification.
Guiding the Practice
Before our field trip I will ask my students if they know
the names of any flowers that can be found in the state
of Pennsylvania.
During our field trip at Bowman's Hill Wildflower
Preserve in New Hope, PA. I will tell my students that we
are plant hunters for the remainder of the trip and we
have to learn about the mysterious plants that we will
see. We will listen to the tour guide talk about the plants
and we will use our iPads to take pictures of our favorite
and least favorite plants. I will explain that the app we

Informal Evaluation
I will walk around with a clipboard that has each childs
name, questions and boxes to check of that they
understood what was taught during the field trip. I will
observe them while making their posters and during our
circle discussion and check off for understanding and
leave unchecked if more work is needed.
