Delta Science Modules From Seed to Plant Complete Kit, Edition 3, Grades K to 1
Description
Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules From Seed to Plant Complete Kit introduces students to 10 different types of plants and help them learn what plants need to grow, and as pods and seeds appear, how the life cycle continues. Students will start exploring how plants grow and turn the classroom environment green. Students can work individually or in a group to observe the parts of a seed and, in time, the parts of a plant. They will also study the link between structure and function once the vegetables, beans, grasses, and flowers develop shoots, roots, stems, and leaves.
Along with the kit activities, the From Seed to Plant Delta Science First Reader introduces students to the life cycle of a plant as they read about the parts of seeds and how seeds develop into plants. Students will: explore the functions of different plant parts and see what a plant needs to grow; find out about gardeners and why the plants they grow are important; and also discover the fascinating ways seeds travel from place to place.
