TurfMutt Lesson Plans Grades 3-5

Essential questions:
  • How do plants absorb carbon and help lower global warming?
  • Do we water plants or do plants water the world around them?
  • How does having a lot of plants in your home add moisture to the air? Do you think the green plants in your yard are transpiring water right now?
  • Do you think all plants transpire water the same way? What do you think happens to the water that evaporates into the air outside?
  • What is the water cycle?
  • What does the word wildlife mean? What does wildlife need to survive? What are some examples of wildlife that live around us?
  • What animals or insects live in our backyards and communities? How are their needs met?
