This unit helps learners understand plants and their structure, the factors affecting growth, with an emphasis on seasons and seasonal changes. Particular reference is made to spring.
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
• The role of plants in preserving and enhancing our environments
