Plants Among Us

In this unit, students will learn about, compare, and grow different seeds to learn about plant characteristics throughout different stages of their life cycle. Students will make and record observations, collect and categorize seeds, and share their knowledge through a life cycle flip book that illustrates plant biology. This unit will also help students learn how to describe characteristics, learn to use scientific tools, and analyze data like scientists.
