 K.1
(B) learn how to use and conserve
resources and materials.
 K. 2 (A) ask questions about organisms,
objects, and events;
 K.2 (D) construct reasonable explanations
using information; and
 K.6 (B) record observations about parts of
plants including leaves, roots, stems, and
flowers

Gather materials for planting the seeds. (Soil, lima beans, cups,
dropper, water).
Show the materials. Discuss the proper use of the materials. On chart
paper, list the 5 Senses with students and remind them that scientists do
not use their sense of taste.
Explain to the children that they are going to plant a seed. Model how to
plant the seed:
Step 1: Fill the cup with soil (half full).
Step 2: Place the seed in the soil.
Step 3: Cover the seed with more soil, filling the cup ¾ full.
Step 4: Use the dropper filled with water and add three-four drops of
water to the soil.
Step 5: Place the plant in a sunny area.
Check for understanding by having students repeat the steps and the
rules for using the materials.
Divide students into groups of 3-4 and pass out materials. Tell students to
begin planting seeds. Observe students and help if needed.
After all the seeds have been planted, gather students

Ask: “What will the plant will need to survive?” (Soil, water, sun light, air).
