- Use scavenger hunts throughout the year to promote active learning during science class! Most of the topics for third grade science are covered. If I make any new scavenger hunts to cover additional topics, I will include them later. Feel free to make suggestions for missing topics under my Q&A$86.95$60.86Save $26.09
This scavenger hunt provides review on the vocabulary of plant parts and life cycles. It includes 16 cards with facts for students to read and locate information. A comparison chart is also included.
1. Print the sentence cards on card stock then cut them apart.
2. Make copies of the Plant Scavenger Hunt questions worksheet (2-sided). Each student needs a copy.
3. Place Plant Scavenger Hunt cards around your classroom where students will be able to find them. You can put them on chairs, on the computer keyboard, on the back of your classroom door, on the sides of student desks, on the chalkboard, or wherever you like.
4. Students have to search the room and find all of the sentence cards to answer the questions. You can differentiate by having students work alone or with a classmate.
With the Scavenger Hunt game I have the students complete it as part of a rotation during reading groups. I only have 4 or 5 students walking around with clipboards to locate the sentence cards and write their answers. Students needing extra support can be paired with a partner for this activity. I have also done similar activities with the whole class or as a filler for early finishers, especially if you made the cards a little bit tricky to find. My students enjoy this activity.
