Lesson 3 Plant Needs

This kindergarten lesson plan focuses on teaching students about the needs of plants, including soil, air, water, and sun. Students will learn about plant needs through a video, class discussion, and craft activity where they label the different elements a plant requires. To assess learning, students will observe the class plants and draw and write about any changes they notice in their observation journals.

TCNJ Lesson Plan

Lesson 3: Plant Needs

Student Name: Jill Messineo and Nikita Garbayo School Name: Pace Charter

Grade Level: Kindergarten Host Teacher’s Name: Mrs. Rickey

Guiding and/or Essential Questions:

● What does a plant need to survive?


● How can we give a plant what it needs to survive?

Pre-lesson Assignments and/or Student Prior Knowledge (ex. background knowledge,


possible misconceptions, prior lesson content)
● Students will know what a plant is and the different parts of a plant. Using prior lesson
content, students will possibly be able to identify certain elements of what a plant needs
to survive. They also may know this from their own background knowledge.

Standards:
● CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.K.5: Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as
desired to provide additional detail.
● K-LS1-1.: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including
humans) need to survive.

Learning Objectives and Assessments:

For students to be able to identify the Students will do a craft diagram that shows
different things a plant needs in order to grow and labels the elements of what a plant needs
and stay alive
K-LS1-1.: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and
animals (including humans) need to survive.
For students to practice using their Students will be given a chance to observe
observation skills to observe and record any their plants. They will draw a detailed picture
changes in their plants of the current state of their plant. They will
then write a sentence about if there were any

Resources: (List materials, include any online or book references and resources)

● https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBIQ1fTRzI
● Pre-cut construction paper
● Glue
● Document camera
● Vocabulary words
● Anchor chart
● White board
● Pencils
● Crayons
● Observation journals

Plan for set-up/distribution/cleanup of materials:


● We will pass out the pre-cut pieces of construction paper to the students for the craft
● Students have glue, pencils, and whatever else they may need inside their desk

Step by Step plan (numbered):

1. Lesson beginning: We will take one of the students plants and bring it up for the class to
see and ask students what has been making this plant grow. Students will raise their hand
and answer and we will discuss what they come up with.
2. We will then play the video which is a song about the different plant needs
3. After the video we will hang chart paper on the whiteboard and sketch out the different
needs a plant has with mini descriptions below. We will also have a plant drawn out to
demonstrate where the plant takes in these needs.
4. Once we finish the chart paper, we will move on to the craft. For the craft, students will
create a scenery of what a plant needs using construction paper. We will have all of the
paper pre-cut and the words to label the plant needs pre-written. We will do the project all
together as a class step by step. We will first put the soil down, then the flower, then the
sun, and then the rainy cloud. After those are glued down we will ask students where they
think each label should go. Once all labels are in the appropriate spot students will be
allowed to glue them down.
5. The last activity will be for students to write in their observation journals. First students
will observe their plants that they planted a couple days ago. Then they will write a
sentence beginning with “Today I noticed…” about their plant. After they finish their
sentence they will draw a picture to go along with their sentence and what they noticed.
6. Closure: We will call on 3 students and ask about what the different needs a plant
requires and how it helps the plant

Key Questions (that you will ask):


● What do you think helps a plant grow?
● What things does a plant need to help it grow?
● How can we help a plant grow?
● What did you notice about your plant today?

Key Vocabulary
● Plant, grow, needs, soil, air, water, sun

Logistics:
● Timing:
○ Lesson Beginning: 5 minutes
○ Video: 3 minutes
○ Craft: 15 minutes
○ Observation Journal: 15 minutes
○ Closure: 5 minutes
● Transitions: N/A students are at their desks the whole time
● Classroom Management: Students will be following along as we talk in the front of the
classroom. When one of us is doing something on the projector, the other one will be
walking around helping students and making sure they are staying on task.

Differentiation Notes:

● Content: All students will have the same content


● Process: One student will have one of four teachers sitting with him at his desk during
the entire lesson to keep him focused, paying attention, and on task. He may need
assistance with writing. One other student will need occasional support. The rest of the
students will be fine with support from teachers as we walk by and check their progress.
Students are sufficient in writing and drawing.
● Product: For the craft, all students will have the same product. For the observation
journal, students will have different products. Students' observations may be the same or
different depending on what they are seeing in their plant cup.
