Which stage do you think it is in? Plant growth

Practicing the Life Cycle Have your notebook open to your notes about the Life Cycle of a Plant. On your half sheet of paper, write one question for each part of the plant’s life cycle. Also, write the answer! If you have time, write a second question. Get in a group of 3 people. Take turns asking each other your questions, keep an informal score of how each person does. Provide the answer if a person doesn’t know it.

Stump the Expert! Whoever is “The Expert” will sit on the green stool. People can use their notebooks and/or list of questions to ask questions about a plant’s life cycle. Whoever “stumps the expert” (by asking something they don’t know the answer to) gets to come up next. This is a friendly game!  Be supportive, not too competitive!
