Do you remember growing your first plant?

I do. We did a plant growing experiment when I was in elementary school and all of us grew sprouts from beans.

Then we planted the sprouts in dirt-filled styrofoam cups and watched them grow next to the windowsill.

I had that experiment in mind when I decided to make this printable mini plant growing journal!

How to Use the Plant Growing Journal with Early Learners

A simple way to use this is ask the class some of these questions:

  • Does anyone know how a plant grows?
  • Do any of you have plants at home?
  • What do you think a plant needs to grow?

As you discuss the questions with your class, talk about how plants begin as seeds and then gradually grow over time – thanks to water, sunlight, and good soil.

How to Grow Plants with Early Learners

If you decide to do a plant-growing experiment in the classroom, you can hand the journals out on the first day.

Then have the students report on their plant’s progress each week afterwards.

    I clicked to get a copy of the plant mini journal, but received the Life Cycle Flower Science Sequencing Activity instead. I think your link is wrong.
