📊 Growth Pattern Picture Sort

Students spread out dated journal pages, plant photos, and class observation cards to place lettuce growth evidence in order from seed to mature plant. The class builds a large floor timeline, then notices patterns such as taller leaves, more roots, or greener color and names any surprising changes. The teacher models how to say, "I observed..." and "I think..." so students separate evidence from guesses before adding one oral pattern statement to the class chart.
