The Importance of Plants: A Journey Through Their Life Cycles and Growth

In this project presentation, students will explore the significance of flowering plants through hands-on activities and experiments. They will learn the life cycle of plants, label their parts, and discover what plants need to survive. By observing how water and temperature affect growth, students will improve their collaboration and communication skills through group work and independent research. This unit emphasizes the development of 21st-century skills, encouraging students to set and meet high standards while fostering a deeper appreciation for the vital role plants play in our ecosystem.

  2. Unit Summary • The students will investigate and understand that flowering plants undergo a series of orderly changes in their life cycles. Students will be growing plants and charting growth. They will label the parts of a flowering plant, describe what all plants need to survive, and examine how plants reproduce. They will engage in experiments to observe how water and temperature affect plant growth and keep a journal of observations. Group work, email, and independent research will be used to teach collaboration skills. Students will use checklists, charts, graphs and a rubric to evaluate their group and individual success.

  3. Curriculum-FramingQuestions Essential Question What do you need to survive?

  4. Unit Questions • Why are plants important? • What are the basic parts of plants? • Can you describe a plant life cycle? • How do water and temperature affect plant growth? • How do plants reproduce? • What do all plants need to survive?

  5. Content Questions • Which part of a flowering plant stores the seeds? • How does water travel from the ground to the other parts of the plant? • Which parts of plants do you eat? • What happened to the plant we did not water? • What happened to the plant we overwatered? • Which plant grew best the one in the freezer or the one in the sun? Why? • What did you find inside the lima bean? • Do plants need air to grow?

  6. Plant Project The project will help students develop 21st century skills through the following: • Implementing collaboration and group work. • Strengthening their ability to frame, analyze, and solve problems. • Improving communication skills • Setting and meeting high standards and goals individually and in group interaction
