In this lesson/ unit plan, students will plant beans and observe their growth through each stage of germination, creating a calendar to document the process and learning the parts of a seed. The curriculum includes diagrams, worksheets, word banks, a thorough step-by-step procedure, daily observation steps, assessments, extra resources, extension activities, cultural/art/math/literature connections, a data table, fraction practice worksheets, and a bean sprout mini-report for kids to fill out.
