Back to Overview

CONTENTLearners will:• Explore which conditions have to

be present for a seed to germinate• Gain basic knowledge about the

four seasons, using spring as a reference

• Understand the structure of plants• Understand the basics of setting

up an experiment

Back to Overview

Communication

Students will:• Work collaboratively to develop

hypotheses• Explain the effects different

conditions have on a plant and its ability to grow

• Discuss predictions and give conclusions

• Be able to describe a plantBack to Overview

COGNITIONLearners will be using various Cognitive Skills and will develop both LOTS & HOTS • Using observations and experiments, they should be able to draw conclusions• Applying their knowledge of experimentation• Using their knowledge in a new context• Explaining and predicting what happens to

plants in other seasons See Bloom’s Wheel for cognitive learning tasks

Back to Overview

COMPETENCEStudents will be able to:• Describe the stages of plant

development during spring• Set up and perform experiments• Draw conclusions from

experiments• Describe the four seasons

differences using weather and the life of the plants as reference

Back to Overview

COMMUNITY• The relationship between

how plants grow in the world around them and the changes in seasonal patterns
