Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this lesson, 2nd graders will learn about how the Lakota people use plants and why these plants are special. They will also discover the important parts of a plant—roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and seeds. Students will engage in activities like coloring, drawing, and exploring real plants found in schoolyard to help them understand each plant part and its function. This culturally responsive lesson blends science with experiential learning and emphasizes plant-people relationships. By the end, students will complete an art-based assessment to demonstrate understanding.
