Parts of a Plant
|
Welcome to our Newest Unit: Plants! This unit was designed to be taught in the Library to Second Grade classes to align with lessons from the Second Grade Science textbook. It is hoped that by integrating Library lessons with Science lessons, students will retain more of the information and see the link between classroom activities and library resources. Week One We'll find out that plants are living things and what they need to help them live and grow. We'll start growing our own plants from bean seeds. Books: Plant Growth All Kinds of Plants Where do Plants Grow Are Trees Alive? World Book Young Scientist Vol. 1 Week Two We will identify the parts of a plant and find out what the parts do. Maybe we'll see some of those parts on our seeds! Books: Plant Plumbing At the Root of It Catching Sunlight A Seed is Sleepy
Week Three We will learn how plants grow. We'll use the computer to watch a movie about plant life cycles and then make our own life cycle diagrams. Our bean plants are now seedlings! Books: Green and Growing Plant Packages The Tiny Seed Diary of a Sunflower Life Cycle of an Apple Plant Parts Zinnia’s Flower Garden
Week Four We will talk about all the different ways we use plants and how they help us. We'll take our new bean plants home. Books: Tell Me Why: Flowers, Plants and Trees Wanda’s Roses Treats from a Tree From Tree to Paper From Seed to Plant The Reason for a Flower Our Busy Tree Maple Tree The Giving Tree Trees How Groundhog’s Garden Grew
