Summary
Students will learn that all living things grow and change as they go further through their life cycle.
Materials
Bean seeds, cups, cotton, light source, Internet, power point.Sketch of the stages of life cycle of a bean seed.
Background for Teachers
Attachments
In this lesson plan, the teacher will teach the life cycle of plants and students will understand how living things change.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Students will understand that plants have life.Students will observe the changes that occurs during the bean cycle (grown and develop).Students will learn sequence of a bean life: developing tools, stems, leaves, flowers, reproducing, and that eventually the plant grows a bean pod and repeats the cycle with the seed inside.Students will understand that life cycle of plants is different from animals.
Instructional Procedures
Attachments
Show to students the power point"Teaching_presentation" (What is the life of a bean plant?)1. Show to students the bean plant and their growth.2. Ask students, "How do they think that the sun, rain, and the soil help a bean plants grow?"3. Explain to students that most plants grow from seeds and that they need water, sunlight, and air to grow.4. Ask to students "why do you wear rain coat when is raining?"5. explain to students that they wear rain coats to protect them from the rain.6. Explain to students that a seed has a hard coat in the out side called a seed coat. It protects the seed.7. Explain to students that each seed contains a tiny plant and storing food.8. Explain to students that the storing food is very important for the plant, it helps the plant to survive, grow, and reproduce, without storing food their leaves will not be able to photosynthesis and would will not be able to produce any food.9. Explain to students that photosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy(sun)into chemical energy(such sugar water) that is released to fuel the plant processes.10. Explain to students that a seed that gets enough water and air may germinate(begin to grow). Roots from the germinated seed grow down into the ground. Then a stem grows up. A seedling grows out of the ground. A seedling is a young plant(the begging of a tiny plant). The plant continues to grow. the flowers on an adult plant make seeds. Some seeds from adult plants will grow into new plants.
Extensions
Students will plant their own bean seed in a cup with cotton, so they can observe and measure their growth.
