Lesson Plan: Seed Hunt and Exploration for Class 1 Students

Objective: To introduce young students to the concept of seeds, their diversity in shape
and size, and the idea of what they can grow into through a hands-on nature exploration
activity.

Duration: 40 minutes

Materials Needed:

​ Basket or container for collecting seeds

​ Magnifying glasses (optional)
​ Variety of seeds (different sizes and shapes)
​ Small sprouts or plants (if available)
​ Leaves
​ Whiteboard and markers

Lesson Steps:

Introduction (5 minutes):

​ Gather the students in a circle outdoors, preferably in a garden or natural setting.

​ Begin by asking the students if they know what seeds are and where they come
from.
​ Introduce the concept of seeds as tiny packages that can grow into plants.
Mention that plants make new plants by producing seeds.

Seed Hunt Activity (15 minutes):

​ Explain to the students that they are going on a seed hunt adventure. Their task is
to search for different types of seeds hidden around the area.
​ Give each student a small basket or container to collect the seeds they find.
​ Encourage students to explore the environment carefully, looking under leaves,
on the ground, and around small sprouts or plants. If available, provide
magnifying glasses to help them observe the seeds closely.
​ As students find seeds, have them place them in their baskets.

Seed Collection and Discussion (10 minutes):

​ Gather the students back in a circle with their collected seeds.

 ​ Display a variety of seeds on a whiteboard or in your hand for everyone to see.
​ Lead a discussion about the different shapes, sizes, and colors of the seeds. Ask
questions like:
● "What do you notice about these seeds? Are they all the same?"
● "Can you find a seed that is round? How about one that is long and
skinny?"
● "What colors do you see?"
​ Discuss how seeds can be hidden in different places, such as under leaves or
within small sprouts.

Imagining What Seeds Can Grow Into (5 minutes):

​ Show the students a few sprouted plants or small seedlings, if available.

​ Ask the students to think about what the seeds they collected might grow into.
​ Encourage them to share their ideas and guesses about the types of plants the
seeds could become.

Reflection and Conclusion (5 minutes):

​ Gather the students in a circle again.

​ Discuss some of the possibilities of what the seeds could grow into based on
their observations and ideas.
​ Emphasize the idea that seeds contain all the information needed to grow into
different types of plants.
​ Thank the students for their active participation and curiosity during the seed
hunt.
