This is an interactive, first-grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 1.2.1. It guides students through information and activities about the effect of sunlight and water on plant growth.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.

This is a first-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 1.2.1. In this experience students investigate the effects of sunlight on plants.
These experiences were designed to support students in engaging in science investigations with siblings and/or parents at home and then report back about what was discovered. They were created in a way that is easily adaptable for both online and printed formats. They are formatted to help students wonder about and investigate the science phenomena happening in the world around them. These experiences do not describe how students should write up and return work to their teacher. It is up to each teacher to adapt them to best meet student needs. When individualized by the teacher, a student could be asked to engage in one or more of these experiences a week and report back. This format aligns closely to the vision and expectation of the SEEd standards.

This activity is a science journal that includes blank space for plant investigation, observation & results.

During the class' plant unit, students will observe a plant and write and illustrate what they have learned in their discovery journal.

This is a lesson plan created by a first-grade teacher. It is meant to assist teachers with teaching the SEED standards for first grade. It uses resources from Thanksgiving Point and Generation Genius.

Understanding plant parts and their uses.Observe how sunlight and water effect plant growth.

This is a lesson plan created to help students learn how to retell the events of a story using first, next, then, and last using the story The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. Students are also learning the life cycle of a seed. 

Students will review the parts of a plant and what a plant needs to grow. Then students will plan and execute an experiement to see the effects of EITHER sunlight or water on the growth of plants by planting 2 seeds and watching their growth. Students will document their experiment with photographs that will then be compiled into an Adobe Express split screen video showing the experiment and giving a concluding explanation of their experiment. Photo Attribution: https://www.flickr.com/photos/30478819@N08/48768936053 (CC BY 2.0)
