Parts Of A Lima Bean For Kids Worksheet
LINK === https://fancli.com/2t2DDR
You can germinate any type of seed or bean but observing the stages of germination is easiest to see using large lima beans. Place dry beans between two damp paper towels inside a sandwich baggie or jar. Because the seeds can sometimes get moldy, we do two things. Add a squirt of hand sanitizer to the paper towels first, and leave the baggie open so air can circulate.
These free science printables are a grea way to learn about the parts of a plant, plant life cycles, animal life cycles, to take along as zoo field trip worksheets, and more!

Foods in this subgroup include beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, white beans, black beans, lima beans, fava beans), dried peas (chickpeas, black-eyed peas, pigeon peas, split peas), and lentils. Edamame, which is the soybean in the pod, is also counted in this subgroup (even though it is eaten fresh and not dried).
Green peas and green (string) beans are not part of this subgroup because their nutrition is more like foods in other vegetable subgroups. Green peas and green lima beans are in the Starchy Vegetables group. Green (string) beans are in the Other Vegetables group. Visit the vegetables page to learn more.
Beans, peas, and lentils (also known as pulses, include the dried edible seeds of legumes. The foods in this vegetable subgroup include beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, white beans, black beans, lima beans, fava beans), dried peas (chickpeas, black-eyed peas, pigeon peas, split peas) and lentils.
Give each student a seed, lima bean, that has been soaked in water so it is easier to open. Show them how to open the seeds carefully. (They fall apart, so you must be gentle!) Ask students to see if they can find out how a seed turns into a plant. After looking on their own, have them help friends find out why. Have them talk about it with their groups as they look. Make sure every child sees a baby plant.
Can you really read a book about lima beans and not connect it to science? This is a great time to weave in the plant life cycle! This book study includes a non-fiction mini-book all about lima beans and their life cycle. This foldable book includes information about:
Setting this up as a science experiment is a great way to share the activity with multiple ages or developmental levels. Older kids can use a science experiment worksheet to journal about how the seeds are growing while younger kids can draw or simply observe the changes!
\"Botanists, it is time to pick up our lab. I am going to pass out scotch tape so that you can tape your lima bean parts to your paper plate and label the parts. Then place your lima bean plate in your homework folder, so that you can show your family what you did in science today and teach them about the parts of the seed.\" Students taking work home to use as a discussion starter helps integrate home and school. Learning is reinforced and celebrated.
I have a diagram of a seed with the parts labeled. \"Today you looked at a baby lima bean plant, what would happen of the lima bean plant did not make any seeds? Or if none of the seeds were planted? The lima bean put a lot of energy into making this seed and to make sure the seed would have everything it needed to survive, such as food and a covering. The only thing the seed needs now is a safe place to grow. In the next lesson we will look at a some seed designs to help make sure the seeds have a place to grow.\"
Originally I had planned to use a Smartboard page to show the parts of a lima bean, but after some thought I realized that I would want this diagram on chart paper. I will be using the diagram to model the key components of a diagram. I want to have this chart accessible whenever we may want to review the parts of a diagram. Also I want the kiddos to see how I laid out my diagram on the paper.
Remember to soak the lima beans the evening before this lesson. I soak 2-3 lima beans per student. I chose a lima bean because it is easy for the students to open and to see the seed parts. I will have other types seeds soaking for students to open, to see if they can find the identified seed parts, after finishing the lab on the lima bean seed.
\"Botanists, this is only a diagram, or model of what a botanist drew to show what is inside a lima bean. As scientists, we want to see if this information matches with what we observe in the real world. Scientists, will test information to see if they can verify the information as a fact. What could we do to find out if these are parts found inside a seed? Or if they are found in different types of seeds?\"
\"I am going to show you a short video that shows how to open the lima bean so that you can look for the seed parts. Pay close attention to see how to open the lima bean. Notice which side of the lima bean she splits apart. I will ask you which side to split open after you watch this short video.\"
I have cued the video on how to open a lima bean. This video can also be used to review the parts of a lima bean at a later time. You can turn the volume down so that you can use your terms versus what is on the video.
I have attached a close up of a lima bean image that shows the embryo. I will use this image the next time I do this lesson. Some students had a hard time finding the embryo in their plant. For some it was because they opened the plant on the wrong side. For others, they weren't able to transfer the diagram to their seed, so labeling a lima bean photo on the smartboard would be a way to scaffold students' observations and help them label their actual lima bean.
I pass out the lima bean worksheet and read the directions. After directions and questions have been discussed. I pass out the lima beans, magnifying lenses, and paper plates. Students will dissect their lima bean on the paper plate and later tape the lima bean parts and label.
I walk around to check that students are using the magnifying lens correctly and asking them to show me the parts of the dissected bean. This helps to reinforce vocabulary and encourages them to look closely at their seed.

The following day I asked students to raise their hand if they showed their labeled lima bean to their family. I had about 80% participation. Next time, I will incorporate taking the lab home and sharing it with a family member into the homework to encourage the connection between home and school with all students.
I point to the class seed diagram. \"Today you looked at a baby lima bean plant, what would happen of the lima bean plant did not make any seeds? Or if none of the seeds were planted? The lima bean put a lot of energy into making this seed and to make sure the seed would have everything it needed to survive, such as food and a covering.
