By Phase By Day Calendar
Question
Students will observe the garden environment, formulate questions about plant and butterfly life cycles and environmental impacts, and record their inquiries to guide future research and experimentation.
Days 1 - 7
Garden Exploration Kickoff
Launch 60m
Exploring Life Cycles through Research
Activity 45m
Research
Students will investigate environmental factors by conducting plant growth experiments, observing butterfly life cycles, and gathering data through local farm visits to deepen understanding of life cycles and prepare for creative design activities in the next phase.
Days 7 - 13
No activities have been added to this phase yet.
Create
Students will synthesize their research on plant and butterfly life cycles by creating pipe cleaner models that illustrate these cycles, developing creative presentations to share their findings with peers, and drafting actionable conclusions to inform their upcoming class exhibition.
Days 13 - 19
No activities have been added to this phase yet.
Share
Students will share their plant growth and butterfly life cycle findings with peers and parents through creative presentations and dialogues, utilizing feedback to refine their understanding and prepare for reflective insights in subsequent phases.
Days 19 - 25
No activities have been added to this phase yet.
Reflect
Students will reflect on their gardening experiments by analyzing their observations to record what environmental factors impacted plant and butterfly life cycles, discussing what worked well and what could be improved, and formulating new questions to explore in the final phase.
Days 25 - 30
No activities have been added to this phase yet.
Act/Apply
Students will implement the knowledge they have gained on plant and butterfly life cycles by presenting their pipecleaner flower creations to their parents, demonstrating their understanding of environmental factors on growth and life cycles, and reflecting on their project's real-world applications through a discussion about their farm visit, reinforcing the connection between classroom learning and the outside world.
