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."
