Today: you will be able to identify the different stages of the plant life cycle.

• Today you will be able to identify the different
  stages of the plant life cycle.

In your Science Journal

• Conifer a plant that makes seeds inside cones.
• Fruitthe part of the plant that contains the
  seeds.
• Life cyclethe series of changes that a living
  thing goes through during its lifetime.
• Seedthe first stage of most plans.

Plants have life cycles

• A life cycle is the series of changes that a
  living thing goes through during its lifetime.
• Seeds are the first stage of most plants. They
  are produced when pollen is moved from one part
  of the plant to the other.
• Read page 28 in book.

In your Science Journal Make a Graphic Organizer

Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant
Example a seed is the first stage of most
plants.
5
In your Science workbook

• Read pages 14-15 and answer the questions on page
  15.

6
TuesdayPlanting a mystery seed.

• Today you will observe and participate in the
  process of preparing your own plant life cycle.

7
In your Science Journal

• 1. OBSERVE in your science journal, make a
  chart. Use a hand lens to closely look at your
  seeds. Draw the seed and record your
  observations.

Preparing to plant your seed

• Today we will prepare to plant our seed.
• We will add dirt to our cups and observe our
  seeds.
• Make a prediction to what kind of seed you are
  planting and why you think it is that kind of
  seed.

Review

• What does the roots do?
• What does a stem do?
• What do the leaves do on a plant?
• Air and sun
• What is a conifer?
• Define fruit.
• What is usually the first stage of a plant?

Conifers

• Read page 30 in your textbook.
• Conifers are plants that have cones rather than
  fruits or flowers.
• Conifers use their cones to reproduce. Seeds grow
  inside the cones.

Lets Review On a piece of paper

• What are two things that happen during a plants
  life cycle?
• Give me a sentence using the life cycle.
• List three details about the life cycle of a
  conifer
• You see a plant that has white blossoms, and
  small berries, with seeds inside. Is the plant a
  flowering plant of a conifer?
