We have no set curriculum for science or social studies but we fit it in as things come up (for example, we did some human body stuff when miss L was really into that and there are plenty of opportunities for fitting in social studies) so it makes such great sense that we do some different plant life cycle stuff right now.
As part of observing how plants grow we planted some carrots in a two liter bottle so that we could see the roots form. It was really easy. We just filled it with potting mix, put the seeds in, watered them and kept watching.
We observed our seedlings coming up for our garden plot plants.
AND we made a model of a plant and labeled the parts. It had roots, stem, leaves, flower, and seeds. She loves these activities and when she's having an awesome time then that's when it really sticks!
