This lesson plan is for a kindergarten science class and has the following objectives:
1) Identify things plants need to grow
2) Identify common plants in the community
3) Determine the sizes of plants
The lesson will include singing a song about planting seeds, presenting a poem about a plant's growth, discussing what plants need and counting common plants in the school garden. Students will then work in groups to arrange pictures from the poem in order and mold shapes of plants, fruits, leaves or flowers out of clay. Finally, students will sort pictures of plants by size and complete a coloring assignment about caring for plants.
