Beginner Level
5 minutes: This time will be spent talking about seeds sprouting. Learners will use their knowledge by discussing what they already know about how seeds sprout. 15 minutes: The teacher will read How Does a Seed Sprout? by Eric Carle. I will pause throughout the book to ask questions, point out important pictures, discuss vocabulary, and let learners ask questions about the book. 10 minutes: The learners will draw a picture diagram of how a seed sprouts into a tree. We will discuss how this growing process is slightly different in other plants. 5 minutes: I will wrap up the lesson by reviewing the steps of how seeds sprout with the learners. They may choose to share and show their picture diagrams. 5 minutes: The teacher will demonstrate how to germinate black beans by using a wet paper towel, a small plastic Ziplock type baggie and several black beans. Learners will also do this activity. 5 minutes: I will give the learners some follow up activities and book recommendations such as : Dig, Plant, Grow by Felder Rushing. *This class will be taught regardless of how many learners sign up for the class. * The time slot of this class may be adjusted according to the numbers of learns who signed up.
