During their life cycle unit in science, the teacher will demonstrate the word “grow” by acting like a tiny seed (curled up tight close to the ground). Then, as we add water and sunlight to our seed, the seed sprouts (we can extend an arm out of our seed)! Slowly our plant will start to grow into the mature adult phase (stand up nice and tall with both arms up in the sky, like a flower). These movements will help students to conceptualize the meaning of growth.
