4. L ESSON O NE : F ROM S EED TO G ERMINATION Behavioral Objectives Students will be able to:  List conditions necessary for germination.  Complete KWL chart.  Create a picto-graph showing which seed germinate first. Bloom’s Taxonomy:  Comprehension  Application Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences:  Verbal-Linguistic Children’s Literature:  How a Seed Grows by Helene J. Jordan.

5. L ESSON ONE : FROM SEED TO GERMINATION Student Performance Based Product: KWL Seeds need soil to germinate. Can seed germinate if we use hot water? Seed can germinate with little bit of moisture either with cold or hot water. Seeds need moisture to germinate. Can seed germinate if we leave it in the dark? Seeds can germinate in the dark place.

9. LESSON FOUR: POLLINATION Student Performance Based Product: Worksheet: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name_________________ Answer each question In your own words, define pollinatinon ………………………………………………………… Three agents of pollination are:…………………….., ………………………… and …………………….. Make illustrations to show both self and cross pollination or write two sentences about each. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. LESSON FOUR: POLLINATION Put arrows to show cross pollination. What type of pollination is being illustrated?

12. L ESSON 6: S EED D ISPERSAL Behavioral Objectives Students will be able to:  Explain the meaning of seed dispersal and sort seeds according to their dispersal method.  Describe four ways in which different seeds are dispersed.  Discuss the implications of different methods of seed dispersal Bloom’s Taxonomy:  Comprehension  Application  Analysis Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences:  Visual-spatial  Naturalist  Mathematical-Logical Children’s Literature:  A Tiny Seed by Eric Carle

13. L ESSON 6: S EED D ISPERSAL Student Performance Based Product: Name…………………………… The graph represents the number of plants that were grown after seeds were dispersed. Answer the questions that follow. Questions: Which plant dispersed the most seeds? How can you tell? Which seed resulted in the least plants? Why? Which two plants probably dispersed the same number of seeds? Name three seeds that are likely to be dispersed in an uncontrolled way.
