In this lesson sequence, students will investigate the plant parts and environmental factors that help plants live and grow.]]> 2022-06-30 21:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234579279 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234579665 2022-06-30 21:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234579665 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582691 At the end of Unit 1 in Benchmark, students will have an understanding of what plants need to grow and the parts of a plant that help it survive. Our texts emphasize that plants need soil. After reading this text, students will investigate different growing conditions for plants that do not incorporate soil into the environment.]]> 2022-06-30 21:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582691 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582788 I will have 3 examples for students to observe plants living without soil. First, students will observe the carnation experiment and discuss how cut flowers use the water to survive but do not necessarily "grow."

We will then look at 2 examples of seeds sprouting and plants growing without soil- the hydroponic water bottle example and the Ziploc bag "greenhouse". Students will identify what is needed in each example "ecosystem" for the seed to sprout and for the plant to grow.]]> 2022-06-30 21:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582788 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582837 Students will work in groups to assemble a self-contained "ecosystem" to grow their plants in. Groups will be based on students' choice of either the Ziploc bag greenhouse model or the hydroponic model. ]]> 2022-06-30 21:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234582837 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234583039 On their own, students will design their "plant environment" in order to grow the seeds. They can choose to base their design on the hydroponic bottle example or the greenhouse example, but will need to identify what they need and how to assemble their product in order to grow their seeds.]]> 2022-06-30 21:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234583039 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234583125 Students will introduce seeds into their ecosystem and watch them grow!

This is the lesson I started from because it does discuss the variables needed for plants to grow and ways for students to manipulate variables and observe effects. However, I don't think this lesson had a robust procedure for students producing a product, limited creativity and student choice, and I wanted students to investigate the role of soil instead of the role of light. 

Suck It Up! Lesson:
This is an activity I did with my class last year during this ELA unit, but I felt like I didn't get everything out of it that I really wanted. It was a great way to illustrate to students how water moves through plants, an introduction to observing change, and was really exciting for students. I would like to still incorporate it for this reason, and because it did lead to some good discussions with students, but I wanted to also find resources that gave students the opportunity to design and control their own product.

Hydroponics Lesson and "Greenhouse" TPT Bundle:
I think these lessons are both great resources that can be paired together to help students explore plant growth without soil. Using both lessons will give students examples to compare and contrast as well as more choice and ownership over the development of their own product.]]> 2022-06-30 21:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2234583318 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235328083 2022-07-01 22:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235328083 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235328939 2022-07-01 22:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235328939 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235329160 2022-07-01 22:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235329160 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235330125 2022-07-01 22:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2235330125 duncanm14 https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2250663307 2022-07-27 15:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/duncanm14/9fmkk7982qyumpci/wish/2250663307
