This is a sample from my "Taking Care of Plants" Science Unit

There are several ways that you can use these pictures:

✿ The students can cut out the pictures and then glue them onto paper in the correct order.

✿ Cut the pictures out ahead of time and laminate them. Mix up the cards and have the students sequence them.

✿ Print two sets of the pictures, cut them out and laminate them. Use the pictures to play a matching game. (If the students find two of the same picture they have a “match” and get to keep the cards. Play until all the pairs are found.) This game works well when played with a partner.
