Summary:
Students will design and create a model of a flowering plant that correctly displays its external structure.
Materials:
Straws, toothpicks, felt, paper, string, wooden skewers, modeling clay, construction paper, tissue paper, foam paper, scissors. Enrichment option: styrofoam, soil, hair dryer/fan and spray bottle.
Agenda:
Start by discussing this questions as a whole class and giving plenty of time for small groups to come up with answers and share in class.
*What is a plant? What’s the purpose?
*What is a flower? What’s the purpose?
*Students will draw a blueprint/diagram of their flowering plant prototype.
*Student will then label the parts of the flowering part and describe its function.

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
Students use test strips and research to solve the issue of a fish death in our classroom tank. This would also work well for the initial setup of a tank. Students see a tangible, observable, real
In this lesson, students focus on the engineering design process to help them design, build, and test a functional bow and arrow system like the character Brian Robeson in the book "Hatchet". Students
