Teachers, get ready to be the sunlight!
Walk around the classroom and guide your students to follow the sunlight (you!), just like a plant would!
Whenever you're done, go to the next slide.

In this lesson, students make observations of plants in order to identify their needs and that they are, in fact, living things. In the activity, Plant Dance, students engage in a kinesthetic activity in which they observe and then model the appearance of plants when their needs are and aren’t met.
