Free Plant Needsp Lesson Plan for 5th Grade Students

Topic: Plant Needs and Parts of a Plant

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to list the basic needs of a plant and identify the parts of a plant that aid in meeting those needs.

Materials

• Plants (either living or cut-out models)
• Chart with the list of basic plant needs (water, nutrients, sunlight, air)
• Markers or crayons

Warm-up

• Begin the lesson by asking students what they know about plants. What do plants need to survive? What parts of a plant help them meet these needs?
• As a class, brainstorm a list of possible needs that plants might have. Write these down on the board.
• Next, brainstorm a list of parts of a plant that might help them meet these needs. Again, write these down on the board.

Direct Instruction

• Begin by reviewing the list of needs and parts of a plant that have been brainstormed. Ask students to explain why each need or part is important to the survival of a plant.
• Then, show students pictures or examples of different types of plants and ask them to identify the needs and parts that each plant shows.
• As a class, discuss the importance of each need and part to the survival of a plant.

Guided Practice

• Divide students into small groups and give each group a plant seedling or a piece of a plant.
• Have students carefully observe the plant and write down any noticeable needs or parts that they see.
• After some time, have each group present their findings to the class and discuss the importance of the needs and parts that they have identified.

Independent Practice

• Have students choose one plant species that they are interested in and do research on its needs and parts.
• Students can present their findings to the class in the form of a poster or presentation.

Closure

• Review the importance of each of the different plant needs and parts.
• Ask students to share what they learned about their chosen plant species.E-Mail
