Introduction to Plants

During this class, students will learn the life cycle of a plant and the parts of a plant.  We will discuss different types of plants, each stage of the life cycle, and the parts of a plant. This class incorporates science concepts through a story, google slides, worksheets, and real life plants. As the teacher, I will guide the students through each step of the life cycle, asking questions throughout. As a class we will fill out the worksheet provided. 
  
In the materials section below, you can find everything that you will need for this class. The students will be helping me fill out the worksheet on our google slide. A copy of the worksheets and extra materials will be uploaded if students want to do so on their own. This can be done during or outside of class. If doing the worksheet at home along with us online please have materials printed and already cut before class begins.
