Our topic this term is Plants. Over the next few weeks, Miss Grossman will be planting some flowers and vegetables at home to see how they grow. |
Lesson 1: To identify and name a variety of common wild plants by going on a wild plant hunt.
Success criteria: I can identify and name common wild plants. I can gather and record data to help in answering questions by finding out which wild plant is the most common. I can gather information to answer a question. |
Below is the link to your 'wild flower hunt' recording sheet. If you are unable to print this, just create your own on some paper with the names and a space for the tally! |

Scientific questions to talk about at home: What does a seed need to grow?
Key words: wild, weed, common, tally I look forward to hearing which wild plants were most commonly spotted on your walk. You can send your science learning to the class email! |
Extension:
Watch this video on Explorify then answer the following questions:
