5. STANDARDS: a. Identify the common needs such as food, air, and water of familiar living things.   b. Predict, explain, and infer patterns based on observations and representations of living things, their needs, and life cycles.   c. Make and record by drawing, acting out, or describing observations of living things and how they change over time.

6. ASSESSMENT:
Using the Scratch program students need to play games called “Math the Picture with the Word”. In this game the students have to match the picture with the words. These pictures and words represent the elements of life cycle of a seed.
Students need to draw the sequence of the seed to become a plant in their journal
Students need to write simple sentences explaining the changing that a seed makes to become a plant in their journal.
Teacher will be grading the student using rubric
