How Animals Grow And Change Lesson Plans

Lesson Plan: Life Cycles of Plants and Animals

Subject area: Science

Grade: three

Lesson Objective: To explore the life bicycle of a plant and an animal

Next Gen Science Standard: 3-LS1-1. Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles just all have in mutual nascency, growth, reproduction, and death.

Preparation Needed:

Draw or go a picture show of a life cycle of a plant. (Draw a rudimentary life cycle of a institute- seed on pinnacle, arrow pointing to seed growing roots, arrow pointing to seed with roots and stalk, arrow pointing to roots, stem and leaves, arrow pointing to roots, stalk, leaves and flower or fruit and so arrow back to seed)
Draw or get a picture of a life bicycle of a duck (Describe a rudimentary life wheel of a plant- egg at top, arrow pointing to a chick hatching from egg, arrow pointing to chick, pointer pointing to developed duck, arrow pointing to adult duck sitting on nest so arrow back to egg)

Starter:

Say:

How exercise plants and animals grow? (Allow the students to answer.)

Main:

Say:

There are things that all living beings need. Those things are nutrient, water, air, sunday and the right temperature.
When a living being, a establish or an animal, has what they need, they grow and go through their life cycle.
A life cycle is all of the unlike changes that happen to a living thing during its life. All living things have a life wheel, plants, animals and people.
We are going to talk almost the life bicycle of a plant start. (Bear witness the life cycle of a plant.)
Plants get-go out as a seed. The seed begins to grow when it has enough water. The seed grows roots and so a stem.
The stalk and roots keep growing and leaves grow. After leaves grow, the plant grows a flower or fruit.
Inside the flower or fruit are seeds that are then spread and the life cycle starts again.
At present, let united states talk about the life wheel of a duck. (Show the life cycle of a duck.)
A duck starts out as an egg. Just similar a seed, an egg needs the correct things to get in grow. The egg needs to be kept warm by the mother duck.
When the babe duck is ready, it hatches from the egg. The duckling then grows because it eats food.
The duckling somewhen grows into an adult duck. The adult duck, if it's a female person, volition then lay eggs and the life cycle starts once again.
We have talked about the life cycle of a plant and the life cycle of a duck. What are the things that are the same between those life cycles? (Allow the students to answer- write their responses on the board under the word "aforementioned.")
You noticed that both plants and ducks are born, they grow and they reproduce, or make more of themselves.
What are some of the things that are different between the life cycle of the found and duck? (Allow the students to answer- write their responses on the board under the word "different.")
You are now going to describe a picture showing the life cycle of a institute and the life cycle of a duck. After you lot have drawn the life cycles, circle the parts of the life wheel that are the aforementioned.
Does anyone have any questions?

Feedback:

Say:

Who would like to share the life cycles that yous drew? How did you lot show which parts of the life cycles are the aforementioned? (Permit the students to share.)
