5E Lesson Plan

Science/ Parts of a Plant /4th Grade

ALCOS Objective SCI.4.9.1: Identify the internal and external structures of plants (e.g.,
thorns, leaves, stems, roots, colored petals, xylem, phloem).

ISTE 1c.) Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to
demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

3a.) Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other
resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.

Objectives:

 The students will identify that thorns, leaves, stems, roots, colored petals, xylem, and
phloem are parts of a plant.
 The students will observe and record parts of the plant.
 The students will define the parts of the plant.

Differentiation Strategies

 Students will assemble into their pre-assigned heterogeneous groups.


 Additional help will be provided for those in need.
 A variation of strategies will be used to address all learning styles.
ENGAGEMENT:

 The students will create their one of a kind plant by adding all the parts of the plant:

exhibitions/flora/english/game_create.html
 Group members will examine the creations, discuss similarities, differences and
inquiries of their plants.
 The students will individually complete the “Know” and “Want to Know” sections of
this diagram by using the KWL online chart from read, write, think at
http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/kwl_creator/
 Each group will discuss their results and come up with two responses to each section to
share with the class. Items cannot be duplicated.
 The teacher will display a KWL chart on the SmartBoard and each member will write
one entry (two citing what they already know about plant parts and 2 citing what they
want to know about plant parts).

EXPLORATION:

 The teacher will bring in a rose plant for each table group to observe.
 The students will watch the following youtube videos and discuss interesting facts
presented in each video, clarify and expound on the information found in the videos.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2XQPZNLx9k thorns
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO8hrqDuMmY parts of a plant and their purposes
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGpPHrLF-5M xylem, phloem and purpose of
each
 The teacher will take a sample cutting of a rose plant and set it by the Hover Cam.
Using the Hover Cam hooked up to the SmartBoard, each heterogeneous group will take
turns magnifying and observing this cross-section of the plant, discussing what they see,
drawing and making notes in their Science journals.
 Each heterogeneous group will divide the parts of a plant among each group member.
Using their chromebooks each student will accomplish further research on their
assignments and the group will collaborate to create a group presentation on Microsoft
Sway to present to the class.
 The students will write the most significant information about each part of the plant in
their science journal. Then, share their notes with their group members.

EXPLANATION:

 The teacher will display pictures and definitions of the parts of a plant using Microsoft
Sway. https://sway.com/suT8BxsDdK8TMX8A
 Higher Order Questioning: The teacher will ask for students’ responses during the
presentation: (formative assessment)
 1. Which part of the plant utilizes photosynthesis to create food for the plant?
 2. How are plants symbiotic with humans?
 3. Explain how the plant absorbs and carries water throughout the plant.
 4. Describe the difference between Phloem and Xylem.
 The students will add additional notes to their science journal.
 The teacher will display the graphic organizer
http://www.webspirationclassroom.com/view/1783607a21894 on the SmartBoard to
help the students categorize and learn the parts of the plant.
 The students will copy the graphic organizer into their science journal.

ELABORATION:

 The students will do more research on the given parts of a plant and create a group Prezi
presentation.
 Each area must be discussed in the presentation:

o Member’s Name
o Parts of the Plant
o Functions of the Plant’s Parts
o An interesting fact about each part

Students’ group project: https://prezi.com/p/duwvvs3iwvvq/ (summative assessment)

Each student will create a WORDLE word cloud of the definitions.

EVALUATIONS:

 The teacher will refer back to the KWL Chart on the SmartBoard. Each group will share
what they have Learned about plants and their parts.

 Rubric for Science journals (Drawings from Hover Cam):

 Rubric for Wordle word cloud:

 The students will complete the formative assessment created on Kahoot:
https://create.kahoot.it/#user/dbdfe634-ed2d-44aa-a6e5-d87c1f179a38/kahoots/created
 The teacher will review the results and cover any areas that need to be retaught.

Summary of the Lesson:


This lesson is developed for the purpose of teaching the students the parts of a plant and using
technology to relay the information that they have learned.

Assessments Used for the Lesson:


The formative assessments used for the lesson are student science journals, Kahoot computer
quiz, and higher order questioning.
The summative assessment used for this lesson is the Prezi presentation in which students
summarize the information that they have learned.

Reflection After Teaching the Lesson:


This lesson on plant parts took longer to complete than what I had planned for it to. I thought it
would take one full science class period, but it took two class periods to complete the lesson and
one class period for most students to complete their Prezi. Some students didn’t complete it
during that full class period and had to carry it over to the next day. The students exceeded my
expectations for the Prezi, so that worked very well. They were already familiar with some of
the plant parts, but most grasped the knowledge of phloem and xylem well by the showing of
pictures and details given. Although the Wordle worked on my computer, we could not get the
Wordle to work on the student Chromebooks. The school technology person was unavailable,
but I plan on meeting with her to see if we can’t get this worked out. The students were very
engaged in the learning, research and technology. The students enjoyed this lesson and
objectives were met.
