Are you looking for fun hands-on science activities, crafts and printables to introduce plants and the life cycle of plants to your kindergarten classroom? Then you will love our All About Plants Unit.
What to Include in the Unit
We spend our time learning about types of plants, parts of a plant, plant life cycle, what plants need to live and plants we eat.
Plants need air, sunlight, water and nutrients. In kindergarten we talk about soil, but I do also use the word nutrients and describe what this mean. I start with visuals and move to a variety of activities and crafts throughout the two weeks.
Each plant part has a specific role. We take the time to look at each part and the job specific to that part. We label the parts as a large group and then complete several large group activities. Throughout the two weeks we will revisit plant parts and jobs using a variety of activities. Planting a bean in our little greenhouse shown below, would be a great way to show not only plant parts, but the plant life cycle.
Throughout the unit we also talk about plants that we eat and the concept living and non-living.
