2. MR. CHAMBERS 4 th grade Science Strand 1. Concept 2. PO 3. Conduct controlled investigations (e.g., related to erosion, plant life cycles, weather, magnetism) in life, physical, and Earth and space sciences. Objective: At the end of the lesson I will know about plant life cycles and what role pollination plays.

3. MASTERY Ability to plant, grow and monitor plant life cycle. Documentation (Findings in Journals, Graphing growth) Monitoring variables (Pollination, water and light) Daily worksheets Complete daily tasks i.e. Water, Pollinate, Tend to plant.

4. SUB-OBJECTIVES Learn and Demonstrate knowledge or Photosynthesis, Plant life cycle and pollination process. Demonstrate knowledge of the pollination process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UzMaoaXKaM

5. KEY VOCABULARY Pollination Life Cycle Photosynthesis Variable Documentation Graphing Study Experiment

6. MATERIALS Take home journal Cup Plants Seeds Dry Bees Water Sunlight

7. ACTIVITY Students will began this experiment by first studying vocabulary words and mastering their meanings. Students will than demonstrate this knowledge as they plant their seeds and watch them grow. Over the course of 1 month each student or group of students will monitor the progress of their plants, document their findings and work through controlled exercises that involve variables. Once the plant has reached maturity students will have masters, the plant life cycle, pollination and photo synthesis.

8. RESOURCES Below you will find a list of resources to acclimate yourselves (parents/guardians) with the experiment and what your student will be learning over the course of project.
