1 - LS1 - Parts of plants - FINAL (CJT 2/13/2014)

 Module: Parts of Plants

DCI: LS1.A (B) Structure and Function – Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow.
PE: 1-LS1-1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

[Clarification Statement: Examples of human problems that can be solved by mimicking plant or animal solutions could include designing clothing or equipment to protect bicyclists by mimicking turtle shells, acorn shells, and animal scales; stabilizing structures by mimicking animal tails and roots on plants; keeping out intruders by mimicking thorns on branches and animal quills; and, detecting intruders by mimicking eyes and ears.]

The basic content of the standard seems to be as follows.

- Plant have parts.

- The parts of a plant include the root, stem, leaves, flower and fruit.

- The parts of the plant help it grow and survive.

The PE suggests that kids should design solutions that mimic plant parts.

Possible Questions:
 We can probably get away with two basic questions.

Plants have roots, stems and -
leaves

Some plants need insects. To bring insects, the plants have -

The other questions should be about human devices that work like plant parts.
