Parts of a Plant (Instructional Master DR-1)
Materials: scissors; glue or tape (optional)
Have students cut out and glue or tape the plant parts onto a separate
sheet of paper to make a whole plant. Alternatively, you can place
students into groups of four and have them put the plant parts together,
like a puzzle. Instead of using the images provided, you may wish that
each student draw one of the plant parts—roots, stem, leaf, or flower—
and have the small group put their parts together to make a whole plant.
Check to ensure students’ understanding of the function of each plant
part.Image Card Review
Materials: Image Cards 1–14
In your hand, hold Image Cards 1–14 fanned out like a deck of cards. Ask
a student to choose a card but to not show it to anyone else in the class.
The student must then perform an action or give a clue about the picture
s/he is holding. For example, for the evergreen plant, a student may give
the clue, “This type of plant stays green all year long.” The rest of the
class will guess what is being described. Proceed to another card when
the correct answer has been given.Te a c h e r ’s C h o i c e
