4. Introduction of new knowledge and new vocabulary

Teacher says: “What do plants need to grow? They need soil (nutrients), water (nutrients must be dissolved in water), sunlight (for photosynthesis), air (for carbon dioxide CO2)”.

Teacher writes the words on the board.

5. Practice

Teacher gives students empty cards, students write the words “soil”, “water”, “sunlight”, “air” on them. Then Teacher reads the definitions and students raise the card with the correct word to answer.

Definitions:

2. A clear liquid that has no taste or smell. We drink it. (water)
3. The dark, brown (or black) material on the ground. It is made of tiny pieces of rock, old leaves, and dead plants (soil)
4. The invisible gas that is all around us. We breathe it to live. You cannot see it, but you can feel it when the wind blows. (air)

4 empty cards for each student

6. Introduction of new knowledge and new vocabulary

Teacher shows a seed and says:

“Look at this. What is it? Yes, it’s a seed. A seed is very small. It is hard. But inside the seed, there is a tiny baby plant waiting to wake up. Now, we are going to learn about the life cycle of a plant. A life cycle is the story of how a plant grows, lives, and makes new plants. Let’s start from the beginning.

1. Every plant starts as a seed. But a seed needs help to wake up. What does a seed need to grow? Do you remember? Yes, it needs water, air, sunlight and good soil.

1. Then the seed starts to grow. A tiny white root comes out first. Then, a small green stem comes up. It goes up toward the sun. The seed is now a little sprout.

1. Now the sprout grows bigger. It is no longer a tiny sprout. Now it is a seedling. A seedling is a baby plant. It has small leaves.

1. Now the plant is big and strong. It is an adult plant. It has many leaves and a strong stem. Then it has beautiful flowers and fruits.

Now, let’s watch a video about the life cycle of a plant.”

9. Reflection

• • Teacher says: “Raise a green card if you understand everything and you can name parts of a plant and say what it needs. Raise a yellow card if you understand most things, but I need more practice with new words. Raise a red card if it was difficult. I don't understand how plants grow.
