Materials and Prep

Materials needed: pencil, paper, internet access for research.

No prior knowledge required, just come ready to learn!

Activities

• Research and draw the different stages of a plant's lifecycle.

• Go on a nature walk to observe and identify different plants in various stages of growth.

• Create a timeline or poster showing the lifecycle of a specific plant species.

• Plant seeds and document their growth stages over time.

Talking Points

• "Plants start their life as a seed, which contains all the genetic information needed to grow into a plant."

• "As the seed germinates, it sends out roots to absorb water and nutrients from the soil."

• "The seedling grows into a mature plant with leaves for photosynthesis, flowers for reproduction, and roots for stability."

• "Plants reproduce through pollination, where pollen is transferred from the male to the female parts of the plant."

• "After pollination, the plant produces seeds, completing the lifecycle and starting the process anew."
