Provide students with an opportunity to closely examine the difference between a topic and main idea in a nonfiction text. Use as a stand-alone activity or a support for the Finding the Main Idea and Details in a Nonfiction Text lesson.

Every experiment begins with a hypothesis. In this hands-on science lesson, young botanists will learn about making educated guesses by planting and observing the growth of their very own lima bean seeds.

In this lesson, students will use their five senses to tell about a picture. They will gain experience articulating and recognizing sensory details while building language skills.

Your students will love learning about nonfiction texts and the life cycle of a seed with a classic story, simple video, and a cut and paste activity!

Life cycles go around and around! In this technology-integrated lesson, students will research various animal life cycles and write about them.

After this lesson you will have a group of prospective farmers in your class. They plant seeds and learn what seeds need to grow.

Get your young scientists out of the classroom and into nature with this interactive science lesson.
