The 3rd grade class will conduct a botany project over the school year where students will grow and observe plants, learning about plant life cycles, reproduction, and the environment needed for plant growth. Students will work in groups, keeping journals of their observations and experiments, and will present their findings at the end. The project aims to teach science standards through hands-on learning using a project-based learning approach.
This article is intended to help teachers, especially children's ministry teachers, understand why Learning Styles is such an important issue to understand in order to connect with one's students. A clear and concise definition and examination of all three learning types- auditory, visual, and kinesthetic will be conducted and practical will be shared as to how teachers can structure their lessons to meet the needs of children from each learning type

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

UNIT SUMMARY
Our class’s botany project covers many of the 3rd grade science
objectives in a fun and interesting way! At the beginning of the
school year, we will talk about what we already know about plants, in
hopes of learning more and understanding. We will use the
greenhouse by the playground to begin growing our plants as young
“botanists.” Students will be responsible for growing these plants and
doing experiments to discover the importance of each element
required for plant life. As our lovely plants grow, we will get to learn
about the life cycle of plants, and how reproduction occurs. We will
even help pollinate and collect seeds! Our class will enjoy a guest
speaker from the Tuscaloosa Master Gardener’s Association and we
will be working in groups and using journals to mark our progress. At
the end of the year, each group will prepare a report or presentation
for the class, and just before the school year ends, we will have a
plant sale! So clear out some space in your child’s mind and your
garden for an exciting botany adventure!

MY ROLE
As your child’s teacher, my role will be to
guide these students as they learn. I will have
frequent meetings with the groups and monitor
their progress through conferences and a
project timeline. I will take special care to
accommodate when appropriate. This is a
project however, and I will encourage the
students to think and learn on their own.
5. +
PARENT’S ROLE
As a parent, your help is greatly needed and
appreciated. Please encourage your child and
participate in this project with them. There will
be times during the year when we may need
supplies and volunteers, or even audiences. It
will be more impactful to your son or
daughter’s education if you join the botanist
trend with them!
6. +
STUDENT’S ROLE
The students will be asked to brainstorm at the beginning of the
unit. As they are broken into smaller groups, they will assign
tasks to each member and be responsible for those duties. The
class will agree on a reasonable project timeline and set goals for
each day and week. It will be their responsibility to complete
tasks and requirements by the appropriate dates. Students will be
collecting data and applying information they have learned in
class. They will be expected to be respectful, attentive, and
responsible for their work load. They will also be required to
complete and turn in journal entries. At the end of the project,
each group will decide on whether to make a report or
presentation to demonstrate what they have learned.
7. +
BENEFITS OF THE UNIT
This unit will encourage students to be hands
on in their approach to learning. Being
“botanists” is a fun way to make meaningful
connections to the outside world and how it
works. Since the project will be conducted
over a longer period of time, it will require
students to retain knowledge and truly absorb
it. Plus, we will grow some pretty flowers.
8. +
STANDARDS THAT WILL BE MET
3rd grade science objectives:
Describe the way energy from the sun is used.
Describe the life cycle of plants, including seed, germination,
growth and reproduction.
Determine habitat conditions that support plant growth and
survival.
9. +
OBJECTIVES
Students will be able to identify the different parts of a plant’s
reproductive system.
Students will understand why sunlight, water and soil are an
important part of plant health.
Students will understand how plants grow and reproduce
Students will learn the necessary parts of a supportive plant
environment and their importance.
Students will be able to use 21st century skills and self-directed
learning.

WHAT IS PROJECT LEARNING?
Project-Based Learning is learning through...well...projects!. Its
different from conventional teaching strategies in that it is
hands on, and designed in an open-ended way to allow
students freedom to discover and learn, not find the "right
answer". It is student-centered, rather than teacher-centered,
and it appeals to many more senses. PBL gives students an
opportunity to develop meaningful understanding of a topic by
actually performing an activity. It has the tendency to teach in a
more effective way. Student's will often work in groups and
develop new approaches and ideas to solving a problem; PBL
lends itself to effective and creative problem solving. We will be
using this technique in our class to make science, one of the
probably more difficult subjects, fun and inviting.
