Plant Parts and their Functions
Short pre-assessment: Plant Parts Worksheet
-students individually label and color the different plant parts
Prior knowledge: what do students already know about plant parts?
-mention that each part has a job (more on this next lesson)
-make a short list of student responses
-remind students that we have been talking about plant parts; those parts are
there for a reason--they help the plant in some way (stay alive)
-compare to the parts that humans have (eyes to see, mouth to eat, ears to hear,legs to walk, hands to touch, etc.)
-ask students to name the plant parts and see if any students have any ideas
about which functions each part serves (jot down some of their ideas on the
board)
Introduce a live, full grown plant to the students (preferably with flowers)
-as a class, label the plant parts orally
Show short Discovery Education video: Plant Parts and Their Uses (first 6:39)
At the front of the room (or at overhead or ELMO) make a large graphic organizer as a model for the students. Have the students make individual graphic organizers at their desks.
