Kindergarten Plant Study

Each marker colour represents a different day that the children added new information to the Thinking Chart.

The children had their final plant lesson with Mrs. Boulton on Tuesday afternoon. In our classroom we had a few activities going on to support their plant study. While reading lots about plants, comparing seeds, seedlings and mature plants, and some art/science activities. Some favourites were the pollination activity (using cheeses and bee finger puppets), celery water experiment, Eric Carle author study and flower measuring. 
When we visited Milner Gardens Pam supported the study by doing a lesson on pollination and looking at pond plants. We also completed a Circle Thinking Map to track our learning. The final activity was for each child to choose a plant fact and illustrate it for a hallway learning display.
