KEY VOCABULARY • Pollination

• Life Cycle

• Photosynthesis

• Variable

• Documentation

• Graphing

• Study

• Experiment

MATERIALS• Take home journal

• Cup

• Plants

• Seeds

• Dry Bees

• Water

• Sunlight

ACTIVITY• Students will began this experiment by first studying vocabulary words and mastering

their meanings.

• Students will than demonstrate this knowledge as they plant their seeds and watch them grow.

• Over the course of 1 month each student or group of students will monitor the progress of their plants, document their findings and work through controlled exercises that involve variables.

• Once the plant has reached maturity students will have masters, the plant life cycle, pollination and photo synthesis.

RESOURCES• Below you will find a list of resources to acclimate yourselves (parents/guardians) with the

experiment and what your student will be learning over the course of project.
