Plant Unit

On Friday, we planted lima beans in a cd case and regular beans in a pot.  We are launching our new science unit-Growth and Changes in Plants.  The Big Ideas for this unit our:
1. Plants have distinct characteristics.
2. There are similarities and differences among various types of plants.
3. Plants are the primary source of food for humans.
4. Humans need to protect plants and their habitats.
5. Plants are important to the planet.

After planting, students were asked to complete a padlet about what they knew about plants, what they wonder about plants (and soil) and what they have learned.  Take a peek!
