Part of Lesson Plan: Plant Anatomy

Activity Overview / Details

Now that you have covered what the expectations are for the students for their "jam sessions", you need to provide them with an example of what you expect from them. Below is the demo that you will provide to students - the plant part that you are using is the Roots, and the childhood song that the lyrics are reworked for is "Row, Row, Row your Boat".

"Roots, roots, hold the plant firmly in the ground. They absorb water and nutrients so the plant grows strong!"

Ask the students what you can clarify, and after you address all student questions allow them to get to work. Make sure to circulate throughout the room as they groups are "jamming" on their songs.

Once the groups have finished, have each group post their lyrics and share their songs. Make sure to celebrate each group after they have shared their songs.
