The Life Cycle of Plants
Key ConceptsThe Life Cycle of Plants
Key Concept 1: Describe the major stages in the life cycles of selected plants and animals.
Key Concept 2: Describe basic life functions of common living specimens
Key Concept 3: Describe evidence of growth, repair, and maintenance, such as nails, hair, and bone, and the healing of cuts and bruises.
4.1b Each kind of plant goes through its own stages of growth and development that may include seed, young plant, and mature plant.
4.1c The length of time from beginning of development to death of the plant is called its life span.
5.1a All living things grow, take in nutrients, breathe, reproduce, and eliminate waste.
5.1b An organism’s external physical features can enable it to carry out life functions in its particular environment.
4.2a Growth is the process by which plants and animals increase in size.
4.2b Food
supplies the
energy and
Materials
necessary for
growth and
repair.
DefinitionsPlant: Plants are essential for any ecosystem.
They provide all the energy for the ecosystem, because they can get energy directly from sunlight. They use a process called photosynthesis to use energy from the sun to grow and reproduce. They also must get nutrients from the soil. Those nutrients get into the soil when decomposers break down waste and dead materials. Plants require space to grow and reproduce.
Life Cycle: a series of stages through which an organism passes between recurrences of a primary stage
Lesson 2
Where Seeds Come from and How Seeds Grow
Standards NCTM Math Skills
Process Standards: Representation Content Standards: Measurement
NAEP Process Skills Scientific Inquiry: S4.2 Conduct scientific investigations using appropriate tools
and techniques (e.g., selecting an instrument that measures the desired quantity—length, volume, mass, weight, time interval, temperature—with the appropriate level of precision)
Technology: T4.1 Propose or critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints
NAEP Science Content Standard L4.5: Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and
develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms.
ISTE NETs Standards for Literate Students 1. Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking,
construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
Behavioral Objectives Students will be able to identify the parts of a seed and their functions.
Students will be able to classify and graph different kind of seeds.
ManipulativesPlanting seeds
Worksheet #1: Classifying Seeds
Create a Bar Graph using the data collected and answer the following questions. 1. Which kind of seeds has the greatest amount? Seeds You Can Eat and Big Seeds both have 3, so they have
the greatest amount. 2. Which kind of seeds has the least amount? Rough Texture Seeds 3. Order the kind of seeds from greatest to least.
Seeds You Can Eat
Big Seeds
Smooth Texture Seeds
Rough Texture Seeds
Pumpkin Pumpkin Watermelon Sunflower
Sunflower Mustard Pumpkin
Sesame Watermelon
Worksheet # 2: Parts of Seeds worksheet Lable the following diagram
of a seed:
Answer the questions below. 1. Plant seeds come from
roots. stems. fruits and flowers. None of the above.
2. Some seeds are buried by rain. chipmunks. squirrels. All of the above.
3. Seeds planted in the soil need to absorb oil. water. light. None of the above.
4. The embryo grows by using the stored food in the soil. seed coat. endosperm. All of the above.
5. The roots of a new plant take in sunlight. minerals and water. germination fruit. None of the above.
6. The leaves of a plant make air. food. nitrogen. All of the above.
7. When the plant is an adult, it will develop flowers. seedlings. rain. All of the above.
8. The sprouting of a new plant is called flowering Seedling Germination All of the above

Students will be able to describe what their plants need in order to grow.
ManipulativesMaterials needed to plant seeds
Worksheet # 1: How to Plant a Seed Using words from the list below, write a summary describing the steps you followed in
order to successfully plant your seeds.after first next soon afterward following not long after then as soon as immediately now thirdbefore initially on (date) until during later preceding whenfinally meanwhile second
As soon as the teacher modeled how to plant a seed, the
First thing we did was to place cotton balls into our clear plastic cup.
Then, we placed four seeds into the clear plastic cup.
Next, we watered the cotton inside the clear plastic cup.
Immediately, we placed the cup in a safe place, making sure it would receive enough sunlight.

Filamentality Website http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listlifecyclo.html: Our site explores resources on the life cycle
of plants. Introduction
A plant's life cycle describes how long a plant lives or how long it takes to grow, flower, and produce new seeds. Join us and explore the life cycle of plants, and learn the role that each plant part plays as a plant develops.
