Students dissect fruits to investigate and estimate the number of seeds in each type of fruit. They germinate and plant a seed in the school garden and in the classroom to make observations of the growing plant over time, tracking and recording each stage of the plant life cycle. Students taste the flowers, seeds, and fruit of the new plants when the plant has reached the flower stage of the life cycle.

Students explore outdoors to search for plant body parts (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers) and explain the function of each part of the plant as it relates to the plant’s survival. Students then research a vegetable from a list of vegetables commonly grown in a school garden in order to sketch that vegetable with body parts, describe the function of each part, and discuss which body parts are typically eaten. As a mathematics connection, students use triangles and quadrilaterals to create a model of a plant with all four main body parts.
