Sequence and label the stages of a plant life cycle from seed to new seeds, including where pollination and seed dispersal fit in.
A plant's life is a cycle, not a straight line: it starts as a seed, sprouts, grows leaves, grows flowers, and then, with a pollinator's help, makes brand new seeds of its own. Those new seeds can travel away and start the whole cycle over again.
Today you build a poster showing every stage in order, plus a check-in on the real seed you planted last week. A cycle poster is a great way to see how all the pieces you have learned this unit connect into one story.
Mastery looks like: They correctly sequence and label the stages of a plant life cycle from seed to new seeds, including where pollination and seed dispersal fit.
Common stumbles: Forgetting that the cycle repeats, with new seeds starting it over, rather than ending at a fully grown plant; leaving out the pollination or seed-dispersal steps learned earlier in the unit.
