This lesson introduces students to cucumbers and how they grow. Students will also read the book “The Pickle Patch Bathtub” and participate in a cucumber taste test.

 

• Cucumber Exploration Lesson Plan
• Examples of Cucumber Plants Growing

 

A good extension for this lesson would be to conduct an investigation on the effects of light or lack of light on plants and/or seed germination using cucumber seeds or plants. The following link is for a lesson on the effects of light or lack of light on basil plants: Measuring Plant Growth with Sunlight.
