Module 8: Time to Grow

Essential Question: What do plants need to live and grow?
Science Connection: Plants
When a child sees a tree, a flower, or even a field of grass, he or she may not consider where it began or what it needs. In this module,
children will learn about the growth of plants and what they need to thrive. Plants are living things, just as people and animals are. They need air, water, and sunlight in order to grow and to retain their vibrant green leaves and healthy stems and branches. Learning about plants and how they grow is likely to ignite a spark of curiosity in a child’s mind.
