Time Accommodations
Introduction/Activate Prior Knowledge:
5 min Before starting jeopardy, put students into two teams. Ask the students if they have
any questions on plants before beginning the game
Step-By-Step Procedures​:
1. Ask students in both groups to guess a number 1-5, hold the number 2 behind
your back. The student that guesses the number closest to 2 gets to go first.
2. Ask students what category they want on jeopardy, the options are seeds,
roots, stems, plants, leaves, and flowers. Then ask students what number
they want 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500. Remind them that the bigger the

4. Add points for the team that gets the correct answer
5. Compare scores of the two teams and see who wins

Ask students what was one thing they learned about plants the passed few weeks
10. Assessment & Evaluation:
Ask students questions on plants jeopardy, if they are unsure on some questions, I
know I have to go back and reteach or remind students certain plant parts.
