Grade Level: K-2

Curriculum: Science

Keywords: Growth, seeds, germination

Task

For this WebQuest, you and your partners will be visiting the website that I have provided to discover more about the germination of a seed. After reading through each website provided, you and your partner will use the information found to put together and create a poster board. The poster board needs to include germination facts, soil facts, watering habits, and material from everyone in the group. Once you have completed your poster, you will each have the opportunity to start growing your own seed!

Research:

1. visit the three websites provided

2. Discover information on watering

3. Learn about the different soil different plants need

4. Explain the process of germination

5. Find out how much water the seed should be getting

Create:

1. Cateragize all of your information listed about and then add this information onto a poster board. 

2. Include only information found on these websites.

3. Ensure that each student in the group worded on the assignment.

4. Once you complete your poster board, you can began working on your seed.

After reading through, start discussing with your partner over which set of information should be discussed about on your poster. Information that must be included on your poster:

Watering habits, germination time, facts used from the websites, incorporated a picture, know how to prepare seed for germination and, prepare a seed.

Phase Two

Get all of the material needed to begin creating your poster. Make sure that everyone in the group does roughly the same amount of work so that everyone is getting an accurate and deserved grade. You will need to title your poster and include a picture.

Phase Three

After completing your poster, you will be given the opportunity to create your own seed so that you are able to take it home and remember about all of the things that you have learned.

Conclusion

Now that we have done the research and got some hands-on learning done, next time to you grandma or grandpa out messing with the garden, you can help and have a great conversation about all of the information you have learned. Learning about how plants receive energy and or roots, will set you above the rest and help you to flourish in science later on.
