Students will be able to follow basic instructions and make predictions for short experiments.

Introduction

(10 minutes)
  • Review the concept of plants. Explain that a seed can be thought of as a baby plant. If it has water, sunlight, and soil, a seed can grow into a tree, flower, fruit, or vegetable.
  • Let students know that today's lesson will involve an experiment on seeds. Each student will need to make a hypothesis, or a guess on how the experiment will turn out.
