3rd and 4th Grade, Changing Environments-Plant Adaptations brings to focus a plant’s ability to survive in San Diego’s climate. During live instruction and a virtual tour of The Water Conservation Garden, Ms. Smarty-Plants™ shows marvelous examples of plant adaptations. They will learn the 3 types of adaptations: Behavioral, Structural and Physiological. Students will engage in breakout groups to discuss the topic. In an interactive post-activity called “Create Your Own Plant”, students will choose from a variety of plant adaptations to create and draw their own plant suited for San Diego’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate. Students will gain a greater appreciation for the interdependent nature of plants and the environment.
