For further understanding, use the Roots T-Chart to record the student answers for the following questions: Which root system would give a plant the best anchoring or hold in the soil? Tap roots Which root system absorbs water and nutrients from the soil? Tap and fibrous roots Which root system do you think would die first because of lack of water? Fibrous roots Which root system grows vertically? Tap roots Which root system grows horizontally?
Fibrous roots Which root system transports nutrients to the plant's leaves for proper growth? Tap and fibrous roots Which root system do you think corn would have if you saw the stalks laying down in a field after a thunderstorm? Fibrous roots Activity 2: Plant and Root Growth Post a large piece of chart paper in front of the room. Review that roots help hold the plant in place, take up water and nutrients from the soil, transport food, and store food for the plant.
Write this information on the chart paper. Display the selection of edible roots that you have brought in for the class to examine and assist the students in identifying them. Add any new edible roots to the list. Using a clean cutting surface and knife, cut the washed roots into bite-sized pieces. Have students wash their hands and taste the vegetables. Create planters for observing radish seed growth.
Give each student a clear plastic cup. Have students fold up a paper towel and place it inside the side of the cup. Have students pour just enough water into the bottom of the cup so that the water wicks up the paper towel. Once the paper towel is moistened all the way to the top, have students place three to five radish seeds between the paper towel and the side of the cup, about one inch from the top of the paper towel.
Observe the seeds daily. Every days, measure root growth in centimeters with a ruler and record observations on the sheet provided Concept Elaboration and Evaluation: At the conclusion of this activity, review and summarize the following key concepts: The roots of some plants are edible. Roots anchor plants in the ground, absorb water and nutrients from the soil, transport food, and store food for the plant. Farmers grow plants for us to eat. Roots such as carrots, radishes, turnips, rutabagas, ginger, and parsnips are healthy foods.
ELL Adaptations This lesson incorporates hands-on activities. Kinesthetic learning events provide an excellent learning environment for the English language learner. Allow students to watch you set up the experiment and any variations prior to having students set up their own experiments. ELL students will benefit from observing the procedures before they get started. Acknowledgements This lesson update was funded by a grant from the Network for a Healthy California.
The social gaming specialist is calling FarmVille 2 a next-generation social title that "levels up" the experience of playing and connecting with friends in three different areas: social, tech, and art.
Basically, FarmVille 2 is the first Zynga game to be made entirely with 3D technology. This has allowed the company to implement interactive and more-lifelike animations. Crops, for example, now sway, while your animals move more smoothly around your farm. Kids can display the eggs and objects to show off their hard work. Even though these Dig It Up sets are super fun, you can use as learning activities for kids, too! Incorporate them into classroom lessons about dinosaurs or fossils, or work on them at home with your child to teach them about prehistoric creatures and the fossilization process.
Kids will have so much fun cracking the fossils open, all while expanding their knowledge of dinosaurs. You won't find a more fun earth science educational activity than Dig It Up! The Sea Life Dig It Up kit features clay clamshells filled with sea creature toys like a dolphin and a whale! The perfect gift for little girls, the Fairy Dig It Up Discoveries set includes colorful tiny fairy toys nestled inside blue stones, and would make a fun and engaging fairy-themed birthday party activity.
Kids also love cracking into the bug activity set, and the wild animal-themed Dig It Up kit will remind little ones of their favorite zoo animals! Choose a Dig It Up kit that matches your child's party theme or your classroom's thematic unit, and get kids' imaginations running wild as they excavate hidden gems and toys trapped in fossils! Dig It Up sets make excellent or egg-cellent!
