challenge your class to sequence the steps of a plant life cycle.
Science: Expand this lesson by having students plant wheat grass seeds, and nurturing them over the
course of weeks.
Assess your students' understanding of the lesson by reviewing their completed worksheets.
Using the flip chart, make a chart of what the students have learned. Ask the class for ideas. Some great
discussion questions include: What do we need to grow plants? Where do we find plants?
