Learning the flower (science and art)


This activity is great because it can so easily be altered to fit any grade level!
For the younger children, I recommend providing a picture for the students, where the older children can draw their own picture!

Materials Needed:
- Paper
- List of terms
- Colored pencils
- Picture of flower *optional
- Textbook for proper labeling *optional
- Pen/permanent marker

Steps:
- Either have the students draw the outline of a flower, including all the parts to be labeled, or provide a handout
- Allow the children time to color their work of art
- Have the children use their textbook, or list of terms to label the flower

Extension/Assessment:
- Have the students label different types of flowers, then you can have them on the wall or in the hallway for students to see similarities and differences among flowers
- Have the children do this activity as a review for a test, or even do this activity as an assessment and do not provide the list of terms or allow use of the textbook.
