Plant Unit

For part of our plant unit we dissected green onions so that we could learn and analyze the parts of a plant. We also learned about the life cycle of a plant as well as the things plants need to grow: air, water, sunlight, and healthy soil.

At the end of the unit we planted tomato and sweet bell peppers that have recently sprouted into seedlings.

I used a wonderful resource for our plant unit created by the author of the teaching blog "1st Grade Hip Hip Hooray." To purchase the unit, CLICK HERE.
