Plants - Label the Flower, Lima Bean Observation
Here are two printables that I made using my free-hand drawings and Microsoft Word. The first is a sheet where your students can color and label the parts of a plant. The second is a lima bean observation sheet. In my class, we put lima beans and a damp paper towel in plastic bags. We then take them out to observe them every few days. I have the students draw their observations in chronological order on this sheet. Enjoy! Please check out my blog, Kindergarten Simplicty, for more ideas!
