  1. The Survival of Plants and Animals Onekqua N. Henry Education 713.22 Spring 2010

  2. What are characteristics of living and non-living things Living things Non-Living They do not need air, water, food. They do not grow • Need air, water, and food. • They grow and change. • They reproduce • They have five senses

  3. Standards • NCTM Math Skills • Process Standards: Representation • Content Standards:Data analysis and probability • NAEP Process Skills Scientific Inquiry: S4.2 Conduct scientific investigations using appropriate tools and techniques (e.g., selecting an instrument that measures the desired quantity—length, volume, mass, weight, time interval, temperature—with the appropriate level of precision) Technology: T4.1 Propose or critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints • NAEP Science Content Standard: Life Science • Organization and Development: Basic needs of organisms • L4.1: Organisms need food, water, and air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment in which they can live. • ISTE NETs Standards for Literate Students • 1. • a. Creativity and Innovation • Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. • b. Students: create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

  5. What are the basic needs of plants? Standards • NCTM Math Skills • Process Standards: representation • Content Standards: measurement • NAEP Process Skills • Scientific Inquiry: S4.2 Conduct scientific investigations using appropriate tools and techniques (e.g., selecting an instrument that measures the desired quantity—length, volume, mass, weight, time interval, temperature—with the appropriate level of precision) • Technology: T4.1 Propose or critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints • NAEP Science Content Standard: Life Science • Organization and Development: Basic needs of organisms • L4.1: Organisms need food, water, and air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment in which they can live. • ISTE NETs Standards for Literate Students • 1.a. Creativity and Innovation • Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. • b. Students: create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

  6. Procedure • Plants need 4 basic things to survive. • Air • Soil • Light • Water Plants have parts that help them get what they need. Stem Roots Leaves

  7. The celery experiment • Directions: • 1.Fill the cup about three-quarters of • the way to the top with water. • 2. Add drops of food coloring • until the color of the water • is dark (at least five drops). • Stir until the color is evenly • distributed throughout. • 3. Cut about 2.5 cm off the bottom • of the stalk of celery with • the knife and place the celery • in the cup with the • leaves sticking up. • 4. Check the stalk several times throughout the day. Observe how the leaves are changing. Let the stalk sit overnight.

  8. What Photosynthesis? • Photosynthesis is the process by which plants covert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar for energy.

  9. Standards • NCTM Math Skills • Process Standards: representation • Content Standards:representation • NAEP Process Skills • Scientific Inquiry: S4.4 Use empirical evidence to validate or criticize conclusions about explanations and predictions Technology:T4.1 Propose or critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints • NAEP Science Content Standard: • Life Science • L4.1: Organisms need food, water, and air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment in which they can live. • ISTE NETs Standards for Literate Students • Research and Information Fluency • Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students: • Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.

  10. Objectives/ Motivation • . Students will be able to use a scavenger hunt to find the answers to 10 questions about photo synthesis. • http://www.iss.k12.nc.us/tech/bcrouch/plants.htm • Motivational Activity: • Students will watch a 4 minute video that describes the process of photosynthesis. • http://www.growingthenextgeneration.com/agrium-games/Animation/index.htm

  11. Scavenger Hunt • Name  •   Plants and Photosynthesis • Use the underlined sites to find the answers to the questions. • 1. What is a plant? • 2. What is photosynthesis? • 3. Is the carbon dioxideused in photosynthesis a solid, liquid, or gas? • 4. Which of these are converted into food energy during photosynthesis? • sunlight carbon dioxide soil water • 5. What gives a plant its color? (Hint: look at photosynthesis) • 6. What is a cell? • 7. Which one does a plant cell contain? • iron bars   cell doors   cell wall • 8. What do rootsdo? • 9.What do you call the actively growing part of a plant? • 10. What seventhings do plants need to grow?

  12. How are plants the primary source of energy for all animals? • Standards • NCTM Math Skills • Process Standards: representation • Content Standards: measurement • NAEP Process Skills • Scientific Inquiry: S4.2 Conduct scientific investigations using appropriate tools and techniques (e.g., selecting an instrument that measures the desired quantity—length, volume, mass, weight, time interval, temperature—with the appropriate level of precision) • Technology: T4.1 Propose or critique solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints • NAEP Science Content Standard: Life Science • Organization and Development: Basic needs of organisms • L4.1: Organisms need food, water, and air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment in which they can live. • ISTE NETs Standards for Literate Students • 1.a. Creativity and Innovation • Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. • b. Students: create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

  13. Objectives: • 1. Students will be able to describe how describe how plants are the primary energy source for all animals. • 2. Student will be able to create a graphic organizer on Microsoft word to show the relationship between plants and animals.
