Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of life cycles using the bean plant as an example. Discuss how all living things have a life cycle, starting from a seed.

Engage students with a brief discussion on what they know about plants and how they grow. Use questions to spark curiosity about the stages of a plant's life cycle.

Explain the stages of a bean plant's life cycle: seed, seedling, and adult plant. Highlight the conditions needed for germination and growth.

Introduce the video 'Do You Know How Plants Grow? (Quiz Edition)' to visually demonstrate the life cycle stages and the role of sunlight, water, and nutrients.

Facilitate a discussion on the germination process and the importance of environmental factors like water and warmth.

Encourage students to share observations from their own experiences with plants, discussing how seedlings grow into adult plants.

Conduct an activity where students plant seeds and observe their growth over time. Use materials like radish seeds and cotton wool to simulate germination.

Use the 'Growing Plants from Seeds' assessment to guide students in measuring and recording their observations.

Assign students to draw and label the stages of a bean plant's life cycle, reinforcing their understanding of each stage.

Encourage students to write a short paragraph describing the conditions necessary for a seed to germinate and grow.

Conduct a quick quiz to assess students' comprehension of the plant life cycle stages and the factors influencing growth.

Have students share their drawings and paragraphs with the class, discussing similarities and differences in their observations.

Reflect on the importance of each stage in the life cycle and how it contributes to the plant's ability to reproduce and continue the cycle.

Use the 'Plant Life Cycles' assessment to evaluate students' ability to sequence and describe the life cycle stages of various plants.

Encourage students to explore the life cycles of other plants or animals, comparing them to the bean plant's cycle.
