Final Bonus Blog

Final Bonus Blog
Choose one standard (one from your unit is fine or any other) and write one good essential question for a unit or lesson that addresses this standard. (Worth up to 5 points on your final grade.)

Why do we characterize the basic needs of a plant to be air, water, light and nutrients?

Essential questions should promote and encourage critical thinking. Teachers should provide students with questions without including a specific “right or wrong” answer. It is important for students to extend their own learning by exploring various concepts.


My question above is created for a plant unit. This question outlines the basic needs of a plant, however, students must extend their learning to take what they know about the basic needs of a plant and justify what the needs actually are and why these needs are essential to plant growth.
