<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">Ask children if they have planted seeds before and what they did? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">There are four different kinds of seeds each group will plant the same kind. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">Each student will get two seeds to plant in the cup (in case one does not grow) <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">The seeds need to be pushed in along the side of the cup so that they are visible through the cup. Circle the seeds with a China marker. Tape a third seed to the outside of the cup. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">Hand out copies of the planting cards that students can glue into their science notebook. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;">Once children have planted and recorded in their Science Notebooks, meet as a group to teach new information from the background section found at the beginning of the lesson in the teacher guide.
