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.

Students can work on their own.
Students can either sit or stand for the movement activities. Make sure to plan space accordingly.
In one of the movement activities, we suggest that the teacher pretends to be the sunlight. You can use the Sun printout provided, a lamp, or anything else you'd like to use as a model for sunlight!
