Class will start off playing a few fun games! Games will include
Anticipatory Set:
how plants go and growing your own plants!
Plant & Flower Games
Procedure:
1. We will start the class with first play an interactive game
about how to keep a plant alive. Each student will have to
unblock the water so every plant can stay alive.
2. Next we will go through the Prezi The Life Cycle of
Plants. We will talk about what stages a plant goes
through and we will also go over the vocabulary we will
use the label our diagrams.
3. After we will pass out the soil, seed, fertilizer and water
to the class. We will then plant our seeds with the soil and
fertilizer. We will then water our plants and put them by
the window.
4. At the end of the first week we will record what we
observed in our science notebook. The student will also
draw and label a picture of their plant in the notebook

Teacher will go through the Prezi presentation with the class and
explain the life cycle of a plant. Teacher will be the one to plant
the class flower and go over the directions about the blog and
science notebook.
Students will need to comment on the class blog twice a week
and respond to at least two students. Students will also be
responsible to observe and record what they see in their own
science notebook.
For this lesson we accommodated for ADHD because for this
lesson we have them up moving around and planting their flower.
We also thought that the blog wouldnt be for every student so
the science would give all students the ability to be creative and
not use technology for the entire lesson.
For this lesson we used Prezi, a blog, you tube for the video and
primary games for the interactive game.
