Lynn C. Lesson Planet helps me to customize my curriculum to meet the needs of my mostly ESL, international students. I must orient each lesson to as many as 3 different national curricula (since my students return to their home countries after 1-3 years), while remaining true to the Estonian national curriculum (since I teach in an Estonian Gümnaasium). In other words there is no textbook for me in English. I refer to an Estonian-language math text, for instance, and this year would access the Pakistani national curriculum, as well as the Nebraska curriculum, plus Latvian and Lithuanian textbooks, and reconcile them ALL with the Estonian book! THEN thanks to Lesson Planet, I would find introductory sheets explaining and illustrating the terms to be used, plus inductive practice sheets to accompany my hands-on approach (I use less language and more objects to help overcome the language barriers). Thanks to Lesson Planet, for instance, I have learned to use divided-area models to teach the distributive property with 2 colors of base-ten blocks, AND have been able to find worksheets to accompany this lesson, enabling me to effortlessly bridge the gap between the hands-on activities and the algorithms they were modelling.

Students explore Earth science by participating in a gardening activity. In this botany lesson, students discuss a group of non-native plants that would grow well in a school garden. Students complete a plant science graphic organizer and create a gardening landscape design for their campus.

My Little Seed House
15
2nd
4.0/5 Stars

Second graders explore plant life by participating in a germination activity. In this botany instructional activity, 2nd graders read several books about seed germination including Sunflower House and Tiny Seed. Students identify the necessary elements for all living organisms and participate in a seed growing activity.

Crops 2: What Plants Need to Grow
159
K - 3rd
4.0/5 Stars

Students explore agriculture by participating in a plant growth activity. In this botany instructional activity, students discuss what types of plants grow in their local environment and what the plants need to survive. Students read assigned text about agriculture and plant seeds which they observe over several weeks.

Sorting Alaska's Animals and Plants
14
5th - 6th
4.0/5 Stars

Students examine biology by participating in a plant identification activity. In this botany lesson, students identify the local wildlife in Alaska and utilize magnifying lenses to examine them. Students practice classifying the plant species while writing about them in a science journal.

Parts of a Plant
59
3rd
4.0/5 Stars

Third graders investigate botany by completing a science worksheet. In this plant anatomy lesson plan, 3rd graders examine a live plant in class using a magnifying glass in order to identify specific parts. Students complete a plant part worksheet and recreate their plant using a paint program on their computers.

The Parts of a Plant
77
4th
3.5/5 Stars

Fourth graders explore botany by viewing videos and diagrams. In this plant anatomy lesson, 4th graders review botany related vocabulary terms and the functions of specific plant parts. Students view a clip from the Internet about plants and complete a graphic organizer in class.

Life Cycle of Brassica Plants: Planting Seeds
41
3rd - 6th
3.5/5 Stars

Students explore botany by participating in a calendar class activity. In this plant observation lesson plan, students examine a diagram of a Brassica plant and identify its anatomy before planting their own seeds and viewing the changes over the course of several weeks. Students utilize worksheets to record their observations and define a list of botany related vocabulary terms.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

K - 4th
3.5/5 Stars

Students discover gardening by documenting plants grown on school grounds.  In this botany lesson, students utilize digital cameras to capture images of plants on photo hikes which are turned into a slide show.  Students plant a garden on school grounds and record their observations in a science journal.

What is the Function of Each Seed Part in the Growth of a Plant
12
6th
3.5/5 Stars

Sixth graders investigate the parts of a seed by using a digital camera.  In this botany lesson, 6th graders plant their own seeds in class and demonstrate the necessary attributes for growing a plant.  Students utilize a camera to record the growth and discuss each step of the plant from seed to fully grown.

Flowers and Pollination
178
2nd - 5th
3.5/5 Stars

Students explore the environment by researching plant reproduction. For this pollination lesson, students define botany related vocabulary terms such as disc flower, petal and fertilization. Students dissect a flower with their classmates and identify the plant anatomy as they do so.
