Plant Adaptations

Finally finishing up our plant adaptations unit! We had a great time sorting seeds, sprouting them and planting them.  Our garden box is growing like crazy and we have harvested radishes, lettuce and cilantro. Yellow squash blossoms are blooming and green peppers are about the size of ping pong balls. I love that the kids get so excited about growing and trying new things, although the radishes were not a big hit!

Our science standards (TEKS in Texas) deal with how plants and animals adapt to survive in their environment. We looked at different habitats and how plants adapt to meet their basic needs. I made several pages for our interactive science notebooks, like the one below. You can find them on my TPT store, but here are a few freebies for you.


Aren't these cups the kiddos made adorable! They had so much fun!  Several of them even put faces on both sides of their cups. One side happy, one side mad, one side young, one side old,.......like the old movie Victor/Victoria!
