Before we begin our integrated science/social studies on plants and communities, let’s take some time to activate our prior knowledge about plants.  That means think of everything you already know about plants and write it in the comments.  If you know, or think you know, tell about some of these things:

  • Where do plants come from?
  • How do plants change and grow?
  • What do plants need to survive?
  • How do animals use plants?
  • How do people use plants?
  • Do plants grow everywhere?
  • Is there such a thing as good plants and bad plants?
  • How do plants produce things?
  • What is your experiences growing plants?

Be as specific and detailed in your schema activition as possible so your peers can understand your background knowledge.

Q#1 plants start out as seds.
Q#2 they grow just like humans except they grow a lot faster.
Q#3 plants need water and sunlight to live.
Q#4 some animals need plants to eat like caterpillars.

Plants come from seeds and dirt and you see them in the nature. Plants grow from water and the sun gives them nutrients.plants change from their color and they bloom.plants from the nutrients from the sun and water. Animals use plants to eat and bees gets neater from flowers. People use plants. For decorations and gifts like for baby showers, funerals and more. Yes mostly outside. Good plants are the ones that give you nectar and the ones that are bad are the ones that can hurt you in the rainforest. Plants produce things by water and the sun and soil.my expreice is helping my mom grow plants by the mailbox.

I think plants come from seeds because when you plant the seed in the ground the plant comes out of the seed.I think plants change and grow by getting water and sunlight.

I agree but when you were saying you think plants change from sunlight and water that is how they grow

Plants are green and grow in the soil. They have leaves and roots and stems. 

And they need water,sun and air.

But if you give a plant to much water and sunlight it can dry up and it’s roots can drown in the water

This is a test to see if we can post a lot of words that we are typing in the comment section. The kids keep telling me that they write and write and write but when go to hit submit after typing lots and lots of words that the iPad kicks them off and magically erases everything they have written and tells them they have been typing too quickly. Can you believe it? I can’t. There must be some kind of mistake going on in the blog underworld. Can you explain this? I have no reasonable explanation for this rather unusual phenomenon.

I know that plants don’t grow very well in sand and plants dont eat food like cheese burgers or pizza the sun is there food.there are tons of different kinds of plants

Can you name some plants?

Plants come from the rain and sun they grow in the ground. Plants change and grow when they get food and water. Plants need sunlight and food to survive. Animals use plants for food. People use plants for oxegan and food and medicine. Plants can’t grow anywhere they have to grow in certain types of soil. There is no such as bad plants and good plants. Plants produce things by working with their leaves,roots and soil. My experience is growing a garden and helping with the soil and picking the vegetables.

Plants grow from seeds,And sometimes you have to put the seed in a curtain way.Plants change and grow kind of like of like humans,but they still need food,they get there food from the sun(plantphotosynthisis).Plants also need water to survive.

Did you answer all the questions because if you did you need to add more details to you respons.

I agree with you because they are very short responses and some may need more details

I agree with ice cream you need more details luke

I know that plants need dirt/soil sun and water to grow. Plants and trees help us breath.plants also make places really pretty.  Plants come from seeds which grow when you take care of them.how the change is that they bloom and it makes them change  as they grow. They eat them and they get nutrients also oxiogen. They get the same things as animals. Yes they do because everywhere you go even at the desert there are plants. I do think there are good and bad plants because because plants in the rain forest can hurt or eat you.  They produce by soil, sun and water.by Ice Cream

you know plants can’t eat you!

Plants comes from seeds and seeds grow into plants. 2.plants change and grow by seeds and then the seeds grow into roots and a tiny plant comes out of the ground. Then they grow &grow into flowers or food.3. The things that plants need to survive is water,fertilizer,sunshine and love. 4. Animals use plants by eating them and using them to make homes. 5. How people use plants is that they grow and make meals and some cure sunburn & poison ivy. 6. Plants do not grow everywhere because some people don’t need plants. 7. Yes I think there is such as a thing called good plants & bad plants because I think good plants that are good for your garden or lawn like grass. What I think bad plants are is like weeds or dead plants.

Plants have to have sun and water.if you do not give them sun or water they will die.plants come from seed and other trees.plant change and grow bye sun,water and things on the ground like leaves, died animal and more things to.if you want a plant to survive you have to take good care of it like water it everyday and let it lots of sun to.animal eat the plant so they can survive to.plant are really special to people and animals.  people use plant to put in there yard.

Plants start out from seeds then you have to dig a hole and put the seeds in it and if you don’t the plants won’t grow.

Plants come from seeds and they grow with water, sun, and shade.
Plants change and grow by water sun and shade.
They change because when they grow they sprout leaves and change through time.
Plants can only survive by getting sun as their food water as a drink and shade to cool off.
Animals use plants for sometimes eating them and using them to blend in and protection. People use plants by useing them for a good smell in the house to get oxygen some plants are edible and you can eat them some plants can heal you from wounds.yes plants grow every where you just may not see them like in ant artica there are plants you just cant see them. Yes there Is such thing as good and bad plants because some plants are poisonous if you touch them like poison ivy.plants produce things by making pollen for the bugs.
My experience growing plants is every spring me and my mom plant marigolds and we dothatto remind us of gg my great grandma who passed away in 2007

Plants come from seeds nutrients and sun.plants change by how they grow and the grow by the sun nutrients also they change by when they bloom.what plants need to survive is the sunlight water and soil.animals eat plants and make them get more nutrients.people use plants by decorating, funerals, weddings.plants pretty much grow every where except not inside.my expriance with growing plants in helping my mom and neighbor plant them in the front yard.plants produce things as they grow.yes there is such thing as good plants and bad plants because there is plants that could hurt you.

I think plants change and grow by sunlight and water because once the plant comes out the seed it will need sunlight and water to grow.Plants will survive by getting a lot of sunlight and water.I think that because water to me is the most important thing for plants because water will help the plant not to dry up.And sunlight because sunlight helps the plant grow.

Plants come from the ground,vines and trees.Plants change by planting more seeds in the ground.plants need sun,water and soil.aninals need plants for water and food.People use plants for water,food and meciden.
Plants grow everywhere but they get pulled out so there is a path whey.there are because there are plants that eat otter plants.plants give oxagin.My experiential with plants is when I grew a plant it grew short.

They come from seeds.They come from soil.Sun,water,food and soil.some animals eat the plants.Some plants give us fruits and vegestibles.Yes they do grow everywhere even in the ocean.Yes because poison ivy is a bad plant and a orange plant isn’t.When a plant is to old it dies and when it dies the seeds fall out and onto the ground and then they are planted.I water them every other day make sure they have enough sunlight and soil

One way animals can use plants are by eating them because the y could help their hunger by eating plants.People can use plants by using them in a garden,or to make the house to look nice of to make it smell nice.I do not think plants grow everywhere because where the plants can get water would grow,but somewhere like the desert the ground and I think it barely gets any water.

The ground is dry.

1.Plants come from seeds
2.Plants change and grow by sun and water
3.Same thing as #2,sun and water
4.Bees make pollen on plants (That’s all the animals I know)
5.People use plants for gardening and gifts
6.Plants do not grow everywhere because there’s not that enough seeds for everywhere
7.Yes there are bad good and bad plants,some can be poisonous while good plants are good smelling

(I do not know the last two)

Plants come from seeds and grow to become plants.how plants change is that they get water and grow.plants need to survive with water,soil and sunlight to survive.how animals use plants is that animals eat the food that grows on plants.how Peaple use plants is that they pick off the fruit of the plant and we grow other plants so bees can use the pollen.plants mostly grow everywhere exept places that are cold like greenland and anartaci.there are such things as good plants and bad plants like the Venus fly trap and a bad plant such as posin ivy.how plants produce things is that they grow and grow then they produce whatever they produce.(don’t now last one)

I think there are some good and bad plants because some plants bees could collect nectar from them.And I think there are bad plants because sometimes when you have them around and they die they make your house look bad in front or back.
