Planting Seeds Activities | Plant Unit
Planting seeds in the classroom is such a great Science Observation lab where students can study what plants need to grow and the the parts of the plant as it grows before their eyes. Even better is we use popcorn kernels! The students always think we are growing popcorn. OBJECTIVEStudents will read about the parts of plants. Then they will make a plant journal to track their observations of their new plants. Students will plant 3 plants with different variables to see which one grows the best.

Tadpole Frog Life Cycle observation book
Use this frog observation journal to record the different stages of the frog life cycle through pictures and writing. Students draw, write, or use a combination to describe what they observe. Students then decide what stage the frog is in. They keep track of the days that pass and how the caterpillar changes. You can use this every few days/every week so they understand the timeline of the life cycle.

This is an introduction to the owl pellet unit. Students choose from pictures to determine what a Barn owl eats. It gets students thinking about what they might find in the pellet before starting- and then lets them evaluate their choices after taking apart the pellet! This is a SUPER way to start since most younger kids have NO IDEA what barn owls eat!
