Plant Growth and Development Learning Targets

 Plant Growth & Development Standards‐ Based Learning Targets Third Grade Unit: Plant Growth & Development Lesson # Lesson Name Pre‐Unit Assessment: What Do you Know about Plants? What Is Inside a Seed? 1 2 Planting the Seed Thinning and Transplanting 3 4 How Does Your Plant Grow? Observing Leaves and Flower Buds Observing the Growth Spurt 5 6 7 Science Standard INQA SYSA SYSB SYSA SYSB SYSC LS1D INQD SYSB INQF Student Learning Target I will explain what I think I know about plants through writing and drawing. A seed is a system. I will describe each part of a bean system. I will show what I know by. . (writing or drawing). I understand what a seed needs to grow. I can explain the parts of the fast plant growing system. I will explain the functions (what it does) of roots in a plant system. I will accurately measure and record my plants’ growth. I will compare the appearance and functions of true leaves and seed leaves.

Plant Growth & Development Lesson Name Lesson # Science Standard LS1A Why Are Bees Important? 8 Getting a Handle on Your Bee 9 Looking at Flowers 10 SYSA Pollinating Flowers 11 SYSC Observing Pods 12 LS1A Making Brassica Model 13 SYSA INQE Student Learning Target I will explain what I think I know about bees, through writing and drawing. I will identify the structures (parts) of a honeybee. I will explain the functions (what it does) of the structures. I will identify the structures (parts) of the Brassica flower. I will explain the functions (what it does) of the structures. I will understand the function (what it does) of a bee in the lifecycle of the Brassica plant. I will demonstrate that a pollinated flower grows a seed pod through drawing and writing. I will accurately create a model of a Brassica plant including all the structures (parts).

I will use the graphs to compare and contrast the Brassica plant and other plants and myself. I understand through the plants life cycle, one seed produces one plant and one plant can produce many seeds. Think, Pair, Share Journal Entry I understand the life cycle from seed to seed.
