Living things have life cycles ( ACSSU 072)

Students are to observe the life cycle of the plant and be able to identify the various stages of its development Students are to end up with a film made of still images taken of their Mung Beans over the course of the week.

Ensure students notes include the fact that this is the first stage of the Mung Beans life cycle Informally assess students by patrolling the classroom during the experiment and observe the notes being taken and type of relevant language being used regarding the plant and its life cycle.

Introduce the lesson by briefly revisiting the past lesson and re-outlining past information from that lesson (i.e. definition of a life cycle, knowledge that all living things have life cycles) So we will be planting out own seeds and watching how they germinate and grow over the course of the week Watch clip of Mung-Bean growth over time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tamRjJTKNPE Divide students into groups of 4, then have them allocate numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 to each group member: Numbers 1 and 2 Collect resources Numbers 3 and 4 Prepare the iPad " Ensure each group knows their allocated liquid and collects only the liquid that they are required to water their plant with. Students return to their groups location and one student comes to the front to scan the QR on the board, which will give them their instructions

Who has planted something in their gardens before?

TimeLapse App for iPad. 2 Packets of Mung Beans. Glass jars. Tap water. Coffee. Tea Soapy water, Coca-Cola. Lemonade 100ml measuring cylinders

Has everyone scanned the first QR code and is ready for me to load up the second one?

QR Code 1

Patrol the classroom to make sure that all students have followed the instructions within the QR code (planted the seeds and have watered the plant).

Ensure all students have scanned the first QR code so you can then load the second on the board. Have students scan the second QR code " QR Code 2

! ! ! !

Ensure that all students are using the correct app to take the photo of the plant and that every member of each group takes a photo (so they each end up with their own video of the plants life cycle) " Ensure students have taken the photo before instructing them to return to their desks Instruct students to make notes on the experiment they just started, via DropMind " Have the class open the DropMind app on their iPads and make a small mindmap about the experiment (including a photo of the planted seed and reference to the liquid type which they are watering their plant with). Dependent on remaining time, have students close their iPads and prepare for recess, or allow them a short period of free time until the bell goes. "
