Seed to Flower: Plant Life Cycle Guide

This document discusses how to teach first graders about the process of molecules transforming into organisms by growing seeds into flowers. It outlines the materials needed - seeds, water, pots, and soil - and the steps to plant the seeds, including filling pots with soil, placing seeds an inch deep and covering them, and placing the pots in sunlight and watering daily. It also explains the life cycle a seed goes through, from seed to cotyledon to seedling to adult plant to flower. Proper nutrition is emphasized as necessary for the seeds to grow, including water, sunlight, nutritious soil and air.

Molecules to Organisms:

Structures to Process
By: Alyssa Walker
Common Core
• “Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and
animals (including humans) need to survive” (Common Core
Standards6).
• Students will learn through experience what plants
need to survive
• Students will learn and see first hand how a seed
transforms into a flower
SEED TO FLOWER
• In order to show first graders
how molecules turn into
organisms we will need; seeds,
water, pots, and soil.
PLANTING OUR SEEDS
• 1st step: fill your pot with soil
• 2nd: place your seeds one inch deep and then cover it back up
• 3rd: place your pot in the sunlight and water daily
LIFE CYCLE
• 1st you will start out with a
seed your seed will then
grow into a cotyledon, then
into a seedling, eventually
growing into an adult plant,
and lastly it will become a
flower
Nutrition
• In order for our seeds to grow into beautiful flowers we need to:
• Water them Dailey
• Keep them in the sunlight
• They need nutritious soil and air
Summary
• We can observe through our plants what they need to survive. We
have learned that in order for a seed to grow into a flower, our seeds
need sunlight, water, air, and soil. We have also learned the life cycle
of a flower and we will observe this first hand through our plants.
Check For Understanding
• Activity: each student will draw the life cycle of a plant and discuss
with their neighbor what a seed needs to grow.
Extra Resources
• Read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carl
