Monday
2/27/2017
Standard/Objective: 6.L.5B.1 Construct explanations of how the internal structures of vascular and
nonvascular plants transport food and water. 6.L.5B.3 Develop and use models to compare
structural adaptations and processes that flowering plants use for defense, survival and
reproduction.
Plan for the day:
Essential Question(s): What are the characteristics of vascular and nonvascular plants, seed and
seedless plants, flowering and cone-bearing, and monocts and dicots?
Learning Target(s): I can explain the differences between vascular and nonvascular plants, seed and
seedless plants, flowering and cone-bearing, and monocots and dicots
1. Students will complete science first five.
2. Students and teacher will review types of plants by completing a whole class review activity.
3. Students will complete a practice quiz in preparation for the Chapter 1 quiz on Tuesday.

seeds are dispersed.
1. Students will complete science first five.
2. Students and teacher will review answers from Chapter 1 Quiz.
3. Students and teacher will take notes from and discuss flowering plants structures for defense,
structures for survival, and how seeds are dispersed. (Slides 1-16)
4. Students and teacher will complete an interactive lesson on plant adaptations (Slide 17).
Homework: Study notes. Chapter 2 Quiz on March 13th.
Assessment: Teacher observations and student responses
Integrated Technology: Smartboard, District PowerPoint

processes that flowering plants use for defense, survival and reproduction.
Plan for the day:
Essential Question(s): How are living things classified?
Learning Target(s): I can explain how living things are classified.

processes that flowering plants use for defense, survival and reproduction.
Plan for the day:
Essential Question(s): What are the types of asexual reproduction? What are structures of flowering
plants for reproduction?
Learning Target(s): I can explain the different ways that plants can reproduce asexually. I can explain
the parts of a flower that allow a plant to reproduce.
1. Students will complete science first five.
2. Students and teacher will take notes on the ways plants asexually reproduce. (Slides 33-38)
3. Students and teacher will take notes (while labeling) the parts of a flower. (Slides 18-24)
