Day 2:
50 minutes:
Students will have their smart phones and ipads with white paper and a pencil. I will talk to them about
guidelines and rules, and we will all go outside. Students are to take pictures of leaves, bark, flowers, etc.
They are to take notes on each plant specimen they find.
Day 3 and 4: :
50 minutes:
Students will use laptops to do research (with a partner) about one of the plans they saw. They will then create
a webpage, PowerPoint, or prezi presentation. There will be a rubric to guide them. The project must include
habitat, sunlight requirements, water requirements, soil requirements, geologic location, predators, etc.
This is meant to be project based learning, so it is very open to thoughts and ideas.
Pre-Assessment:
At the beginning of day 1 before the lesson, students will be given a plant anatomy and identification
worksheet. It will be a 25 question matching pre-quiz on google forms. Students will use laptops for this.
I will grade the assessments and give them a piece of paper with their score on it on day 2 of the lesson. The
pre-assessment data will help me understand if students know different anatomy of plants.
Scoring Guidelines:
Scoring for the pre-assessment is very basic correct or incorrect. It will consist of fill in the blank, multiple
choice, and matching questions. Scoring guidelines should reveal whether or not student has met the standard
so that instruction can be modified and targeted to learners accordingly. Google forms has a program that will
automatically grade this quiz.
At the end of the lesson, all student work is compiled and graded. Students will have a brief survey on the
activity on the last day.
Post-Assessment:
The student post-assessment is the final product of the project. The project will either be a prezi, PowerPoint,
or web page about their chosen plant. This must also include at least 2 full paragraphs about the plant with
multiple types of information included.
Scoring Guidelines:
The grading of the student projects will be guided by a rubric grid.
For each of the 5 categories, points range from 0-5 (0 least, 5 most), totaling 25 points for the whole
project
1. Eye appeal
2. Creativity
3. Collaboration
4. Use of technology
5. Resources

On page 288 of this form, students will find details of Diversity of life heading. This will help them
understand more information about habitat and ecology.
Interdisciplinary Connections
This could be integrated in a STEM class that covers application use and creation.
This could be integrated in a geology or earth science class and could talk about life in certain parts of the
world.

Additional Notes
This is meant to be a very active lesson where students to a lot of project- based learning. This fulfills the
diversity of life curriculum listed in biology standards.
