Grade Level: 1st
Introduction:
The purpose of this unit of study is to teach students the four
different parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaves and fruit) and their function
as well as introduce the concept that some of these plant parts are edible. This unit will consist of five
instructional periods and will end with an individual hands-on classification
activity to check for understanding.
Some of the activities included in this unit are;
- Collecting and planting seeds from various sources
- Observing them as they grow.
- Collecting and sorting different plants according to the part (root, stem, leaves, fruit) that is edible.
- Read and compare different fiction and non-fiction books written about plants we eat. Dramatize the plant life cycle.
