This is a great hands on unit for K-2 students that is aligned with ELA CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. Students will read "Jack and the Beanstalk", and discuss what happened to the Jack and the beans. Then they will work in small groups to use growing materials to conduct an experiment on different growing conditions. After the experiment (which should take 20 days), students will use what they know about growing conditions of plants to write a letter to Jack, advising him on the best way to grow his "magic beans". ***Please note additional materials are needed for this activity*** Soil, cups, dry cannelini beans Standards Covered: K.MD.A.1, 1.MD.A.2, 2.MD.A.1, W.K.2, W.1.3, W.2.7, SL.K.1, SL.1.1, SL.2.1 This packet includes: Cover Page Introduction and Set up Page 3 pages of ELA, Math and Next Generation Science Standards for K-2 Lesson Procedure Growing Beanstalks Differentiated Growth Log Book Growing Beanstalks Differentiated Writing Extension Growing Beanstalks Explanation page Growing Beanstalks Technology Extension Growing Beanstalks Home Science Extension Growing Beanstalks Banner for classroom display Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is a great hands on unit for K-2 students that is aligned with ELA CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. Students will read a story, identify the problem, and conduct an experiment to solve the problem. They will also determine and explain if the experiment was a sample of a "fair test". This will follow the process of the scientific method. ***Please note additional materials are needed for this activity*** Conversation Hearts hard candies, lollipops (all must be the same type and flavor), M&M's, and Russel Stover's chocolates (you can find these at the Dollar Store or Target).
