K.1 (B) learn how to use and conserve resources and materials. K. 2 (A) ask questions about organisms, objects, and events; K.2 (D) construct reasonable explanations using information; and K.6 (B) record observations about parts of plants including leaves, roots, stems, and flowers
name the conditions suitable for the growth of seeds and plants identify the parts of a plant identify the plant life cycle in correct sequence plant a seed and observe the complete life cycle of flowering plants grown from seeds over a period of time

Gather materials for planting the seeds. (Soil, lima beans, cups, dropper, water). Show the materials. Discuss the proper use of the materials. On chart paper, list the 5 Senses with students and remind them that scientists do not use their sense of taste. Explain to the children that they are going to plant a seed. Model how to plant the seed: Step 1: Fill the cup with soil (half full). Step 2: Place the seed in the soil. Step 3: Cover the seed with more soil, filling the cup ¾ full. Step 4: Use the dropper filled with water and add three-four drops of water to the soil. Step 5: Place the plant in a sunny area. Check for understanding by having students repeat the steps and the rules for using the materials. Divide students into groups of 3-4 and pass out materials. Tell students to begin planting seeds. Observe students and help if needed. After all the seeds have been planted, gather students Ask: “What will the plant will need to survive?” (Soil, water, sun light, air).
