Practical Lesson
If you are like me and constantly searching for lesson plan ideas this might be good for you. I was searching for lesson plan ideas for NGSS "2-LS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow". This article reviews the book How a Seed Grows
By Helene J. Jordan and offers a corresponding lesson. The lesson involves planting seeds and other items to determine what does and does not grow. I think this will be an engaging and informative lesson and plan to try it with second graders. If it works out well, I'll update this review.
