Help! I come from the planet Snickerdoodle. I have seen amazing things during my visit to Earth. I, especially, love all the plants and flowers! I believe plants would benefit Snickerdoodle as much as they benefit Earth. I need your help to gather as much information about plants to take back to my planet to convince my fellow Doodlebotsof their value.

INTRODUCTION Journey to TASK 1 TASK PROCESS Journey to TASK 2 EVALUATION CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION TASK 1 : Create a PowerPoint(5 slides) presentation for the citizens of Snickerdoodle, convincing them of why plants are so important for your planet. Describe the basic structure and function of a plant which includes it’s growth, reproduction and survival. Try to convince the Doodlebots that plants need to be brought to their planet!

INTRODUCTION TASK 2: Create a video (4 minutes) for the citizens of Snickerdoodle, convincing them of why plants are so important for your planet. Describe the basic structure and function of a plant which includes it’s growth,reproduction and survival. Try to convince the Doodlebots that plants need to be brought to their planet!

Great work, Earthlings! You have learned how plants functionand about their life cycles. I know planet Snickerdoodle will benefit from all your hard work! Check out the other resources I have found to extend your learning! INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS Animal Life Cycles EVALUATION Plant Life Cycle Experiments CONCLUSION
TEACHER PAGE This WebQuest was created for 3rd graders under Core Content KY standard: EP-3.4.3: Students will describe the basic structures and related functions of plants and animals that contribute to growth, reproduction and survival. Each plant or animal has observable structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing and talking. These observable structures should be explored to sort, classify, compare and describe organisms. Students will: 1. Recognize the life cycle of plants and their roles in our environment. 2. Create and design a PowerPoint or video on plant life cycles. Accommodations/Modifications: -Students with reading difficulties will given additional time and be paired with higher readiness level. -ESL students will be given extended time and a reader if needed -Students will be given teacher or peer support when needed -Teacher will provide on-going feedback, -Headphones will be provided to remove outside noise
