Growing by Discovering Growth

Self discovery leads to lasting learning. In first grade classes across Utah, the core emphasizes Reading and Math. Science is included in the core, but does not get a lot of attention. Thus, the district, as it needs to prioritize its funds, is unable to fully fund science materials to support a healthy first grade science program. There is a great power in teaching young children sciences and I am anxious to provide for my 21 students positive and effective science learning moments. One of the main Science topics for first graders in Utah is plants. A few of our learning goals related to plants include: Investigate plants and plant growth, observe and draw pictures of plants, observe and describe plants as they grow from seeds, investigate and report conditions that affect plant growth. I have envisioned my 21 first graders learning more about plants by using a root farm viewing case. This will allow these students to watch over a period of time a plant grow and develop, both above the dirt and beneath. Plus, it is using plants they are familiar with such as carrots, onions, and radishes; thus making this experience real for them. What a simple, yet powerful way for them to learn about plants while developing positive attitudes about science!
