Learning to Look
Lesson Plan


Summary: Learning to Look is actually five activities in one inquiry. In Looking Closer at a Flower, students are introduced to sensory investigation of a flower plant and the plant cycle. In Looking Closer at Grass, students are introduced to sensory investigation and description of grass. In Looking Closer at Trees , students extend observational skills when looking at a tree by observing, questioning and sharing ideas. In Looking Closer--Dead and Alive, students observe a living and nonliving flower and compare and contrast how they are alike and different.In Looking Closer at Seed Growth, students predict and observe what happens when a sunflower seed is planted. The Family Page extends this learning to the community by inviting parents and students to develop observation skills at home.
