Plants

Good or bad, everyone’s got an opinion about plants, and your students are no exception. Plants really are remarkable in so many ways; yet, so often in their study, emphasis is placed solely on naming the parts of a flower or describing the process of photosynthesis. Don’t worry, all that and more will be covered in this unit. However, students also will be treated to some of the very fun aspects of studying botany in hopes of dispelling the almost universal perception that plants are boring.

"Plants" is in stock! Order today!

Plants consists of…

  • One incredibly full (and highly interactive) DVD containing hundreds of videos, animations, still images and text frames to support four teacher-directed video lessons, plus four dual-mode video quizzes and a 46-term illustrated glossary. You can use the DVD to support our “Ready-to-eat” Lessons or to complement your own lessons with the “Visuals à la Carte.”
  • One 172-page spiral bound Teacher’s Guide containing lesson plans and student blackline masters. The printed lessons provide standards-based curriculum materials as well as simple-to-follow directions on when and how to use the DVD. You’ll also find strategies and dialogue prompts that ensure students are active learners, rather than passive viewers.
  • Student blackline masters for each lesson include…
    • ACTIViewer™ recording sheets that students complete during the video lesson,
    • hands-on activities, and
    • grade-level-appropriate reading and writing activities, which help you assess student understanding of the content.
  • Formal written assessment for each lesson.
