Monday: Watch a slide show
I will show you a presentation on how plants grow so that you will have what you need to complete this week's science activities. Make sure you have paper and pencil ready for this assignment. After the presentation, I will have you get into groups of four to talk about what you saw. You will write what you talk about on your paper. I will give you a folder to keep that paper in, so don't loose it!!!!

Here is another link to a video on how plants grow for you to watch when you have free time in class.

Tuesday: "Grow your own plant"
Today's activity is going to be fun, but messy!!! Please bring in an old T-shirt so that you don't get your school clothes dirty. We are going to plant seeds for this activity. The first thing we will do is decorate our seed cups, so each student will get to use the computer to make their name label to put on the cup. After we plant our seeds, we will watch them grow for the next two weeks and keep record of it. This record will also go in your folder!!!

Here is a fun sing-along video on how to plant a seed!!

Wednesday: Computer Lab
For this activity, we will be in the computer lab!!!! When you sit down at the computer, it will be all ready for you:) Please start working on the following activities:

Once you have finished all the activities, please take the quiz online. Try the easy quiz first. If you do well on that, try the hard quiz.

Please raise your hand when you finish each section, so that we can print them out to put in your folder!!!!

** Thursday: "Talk About It"**

Today's lesson will be to watch a video on the life cycle of plants. After we watch the video, you will split up into groups of 3 or 4. In your groups, you will talk about what you watched. I will pass out a hand out for you to work on while in your groups. You will need pencil and crayons for this activity. Each person in the group needs to have his or her own hand out completed. That way we can put it in your folder with the rest of your activities!!!!

Here is the video on the "Life Cycle" of Plants

Attached is a copy of the hand out in case you want to do this activity at home with someone in your family!!!



Friday: "Exploring Different Seeds"
Yeah, its Friday!!!!!!!!! Today will be another fun activity. Remember to bring that old T-shirt to school today since we will be making a mess again:) For this activity, we will be exploring different types of seeds and wrapping up everything that we learned this week. I will break you up into groups of 3 or 4 again. You will need paper, pencil, and crayons again. I want you to explore the different types of seeds that you get and to write about them and even draw pictures of what you see. You will put this activity in your folder with the rest of this weeks assignment.
