Students will listen to a book, Planting a Rainbow. The story is told by a child who planted a rainbow, different types of plants and flowers to represent the colors of the rainbow. In this STEM lesson, students will plant a garden using the engineering design process.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will be able to:
-Design and build a garden structure based on provided criteria and materials.

- Identify and sort living and nonliving things

-Use their senses to make observations about materials and the environment.

Students listen to the book, Planting a Rainbow. The students will be presented with the problem, the character wants to make another garden, however the weather states it will not rain for weeks. Students will begin to think on how they can create a place (environment) where flowers can grow without rain.

Engineering Design Process
2. Explore
Students will explore different flowers (sizes and colors), a variety of pictures and their needs and begin to brainstorm how big the garden must be to accommodate to all. They will also research other gardens by looking through a garden/flower magazine and video, how to start a Garden.

3. Design

Think---Students will engage with other classmates in their group to problem solve and brainstorm on how plants can still grow without rain.

Pair---Students will draw an outline (shape) of the garden. Students will also select the plants they want to plant in the garden. Creating labels for the seeds they planted as well as measuring how deep the seeds should be planted and how close together. Brainstorm other ways plants will receive water.

Share--- Students will share their plan, materials, and rationales to a different group to receive feedback.

4. Create

Students will work with their group to build the garden. Students will draw pictures of the process as they continue designing.
5. Try it Out

Students will test to see if it meets the garden criteria
6.  Make it Better

Students will return to whole group to discuss what worked and what did not. Students will go back to their groups and make their adjustments.

Resources
I have all resources I have mentioned in my collection.

Student Needs
I am supporting diverse student needs by incorporating a variety of visuals as well as strategically grouping students with those high students who may assist.

Equitable Student Engagement
I will provide multiple access points for equitable student engagement by:
1. Having students choose the materials they want to use.
2. Providing visuals and video to assist with the designing process.

Resources:
I will be using parts of each resource. I want to have a variety of resources to accommodate to my student's needs, at any given time.
Adjustments:
I believe as of now, nothing needs to be adjusted.
