]]> 2020-09-20 22:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762450855 This text set addresses NGSS standard 2.LS2-1, plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. It also focuses on science and engineering practices, planning and carrying out investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, and asking questions. This concept is important because students are expected to develop an understanding of what plants need to in order to grow. Students will need to learn that plants require air, water, nutrients, and light in order to survive. This standard is teaching students how to analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resources availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. After reading these texts, students will begin to observe first hand and describe relationships in the natural and designed world to answer scientific questions and solve problems. Students will be collecting and recording data at the beginning and end of their experiment. Now that the students are in the second grade, they will be required to use observations to describe relationships in the natural and designed world to answer scientific questions and solve problems. Students will have prior knowledge about what living things need. However, they need to understand how the sun is required to make food for the plant. They also will begin to start using the scientific method more independently and on grade level. shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762456163

How Plants Grow Teacher Created Materials


How plants grow is a beginner level text about how plants grow. It goes over essential vocabulary about how plants grow and what they need to survive. It is very straightforward and provides pictures as well. It covers all parts of the plants, seeds, roots, and leaves. It contains photos, simple and easy to read the text.

Definition: Steps scientist use to answer a scientific question.    

I chose this term because the students will be using the method while completing the unit and experiment. ]]> 2020-09-20 23:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762528464 Plants: shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762528782 Text that uses this term: How Plants Grow (page 3)

Definition: Things that are living that need certain resources and locations to survive. 

This word is important because the experiment revolves around a plants and how they function in there ecosystem. ]]> 2020-09-20 23:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762528782 Observation: shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762528866 Text that uses this term: What is a Scientist (page 4)

Definition: To gather information while watching something

Students will be using this term or action not only in science but throughout their academic career. ]]> 2020-09-20 23:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762528866 Discussion Prompts: shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762554775 Text:

Definition: How animals and plants live together.  

This was one of the key terms when looking into the standard and what the students were suppose to be getting out of this unit. ]]> 2020-09-21 00:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762613309 overview shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762788138 I chose these texts because I felt they would help the students understand without overwhelming them.  The book on plants is straightforward to understand and read. I chose this because most students already have prior knowledge about plants, sunlight, and water. We would read that text as a review first. I would explain how we will create and perform an experiment using plants, sunlight, and water. I would then read the book Mad Margaret Experiments with the Scientific Method (In the Science Lab). This is a fun book and would explain the scientific method in a fun and easy way to understand the scientific method. Next, we would read the text What Is A Scientist. This is an informational text that breaks down what it is like to be a scientist and observe and learn about science. Lastly, we would read the book Hibitiats to go over how ecosystems work. All four texts relate directly to the conceptual knowledge of this standard. The text covers the essential vocabulary which they can use and reference too throughout the unit. I would help build the student’s confidence with these terms and concepts because I would use the terms throughout the lesson. They need to relate them and use them in real-life academic settings, so the understanding becomes more concrete. ]]> 2020-09-21 02:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762788138 shayes79 https://padlet.com/shayes79/vrqxt8y22slamwt3/wish/762794135 Neuman, S.B., & Wright, T.S.
