Assignment #1 WK7

Watch the video plant life cycles and use Backward Design design template to:

1) Identify desired results:

Student will describe:
The life cycle of a plant from seed to plant
Describe the purpose of seeds and what's on the inside of a seed
Describe the environmental condition a seed need to grow


2) Determine acceptable evidence:
Know the life cycle of a plant-growth from seed to plant
Know the purpose of a seed is to populate and make more of it own plant
Understand the appropriate environmental  conditions a seed needs for growth

Plan Learning experience:
Student will be given Lima beans that were soak in water-they will open the Lima bean and observe whats on the inside of the bean. student will search for evidence of stem growth or tiny embryo's with a hand lens.
Students will discuss in groups their findings of what they observed. For prior-knowledge connections student will be asked  to critically think if the seeds would grow if it's soak in vinegar, salt water or water? Let the students know all seeds will be in the soil, with sufficient light-with exception of different liquids mixtures.  Give the students plenty of time to form a  hypothesis.

Student will plant the balance of the Lima beans-each group will use different liquids to water the growing beans. One group will be given salt water, another group will be given vinegar , and another group will be regular given water. Over the cause of a couple of weeks-each group will closely monitor the Lima bean growth-life cycle and environmental conditions. Each group will water with designated mixture-and chart growth-life cycle. The life cycle will be illustrated from the open/closed stages to adult plant-

Over the cause of couple weeks students will keep data analysis, draw out illustration of Lima bean growth-life cycle and describe optimal environmental conditions. Student will present results in organized group to the class.
