Welcome! Are you ready to learn about plants, their parts, and what they need to grow? You are going to have an exciting time as you discover different facts about plants you may not already know, and then take those research findings and form your own 30 second video explaining and summarizing what you have learned! Your goal is to be able to explain the parts of a plant and what they need to grow. Many dinosaurs that we are learning about live off of these plants! Let's get started!
...ARTICULATE (put into words) what the individual parts of plants are.
...PREDICT what plants need to grow.
...COLLECT information about what plants need to grow.
...SUMMARIZE and EXPLAIN what plants need to grow.
Read through ALL directions on the pages CAREFULLY before beginning.
Collaborate (get together) with your group during class time and get on to the Asana app to brainstorm your group's approach and task divisions.
Complete the activities and research resources on each slide to learn about what the parts of the plants are and what they need to grow.
At the end of your research, your group must make a video explaining what you have learned using the Animoto app.
