Note, I put this in because there was one remaining space I could not fill. My thought was to give the kids extra thinking time about the factors affecting plant growth you could take a walk around the school looking at how the different plants in the field grow. Most schools have fields...look at the differences near the school/portables, then debrief in the class should help the kids to think about their labs that they will begin the next class, and give them ideas for their lab write ups. Here is my lesson. It might help in planning your lessons to see what will be taught before your lessons. I have also remade one of the templates if you like this one better feel free to use it. I am sure it is fine as it is basically the same as another that was posted...just for me it is easier to use.
