specific parts of the plant. This activity will be at the end of
a unit regarding plant parts.

Program Monitoring:
Since the students have already studied plant parts, this
activity will serve as an assessment as to whether they
understand the plant parts or not.
By the end of this activity, the teacher will have a compiled
list of data that states whether the students know the
different parts of the plant or not.
