This article is great for introducing the plant cycle. The article calls for an assessment that probes big and small seeds. I believe it is great because it introduces the idea of asking questions, testing their hypothesis, and then proving their theory with media and text. This article has introduced me to the idea of P-E-O which is the students predicting their outcome by electing a classmate that they agree with and they will work together to test and explain their predictions. This is wonderful because it introduces teamwork and sharing. This would be a great introduction to the fourth grade TEK 4.10.C. because the TEK is about exploring and comparing different life cycles and since they already have to compare two different seeds they can also illustrate and describe the two completely different plants and their life cycles.
