Breakout Box
How Does It Grow?
Grade Level: 2nd Grade
This lesson can be used as a stand-alone lesson to introduce inquiry and what a plant needs to grow. Alternatively, it can be tied in as an informal assessment for the Kansas Corn Lesson: How Does It Grow? The breakout lesson includes activities focusing on growing a plant, subtraction, plant habitats, and the corn growth cycle. This will motivate and engage your students’ interest in corn and planting in the classroom.
