📚 Part 1: Knowledge & Planning

I can: explain the basics of planting and caring for a miniature rose garden and design my own garden.

Success criteria: I can list 3 needs of roses, explain one environmental benefit, design a simple layout, and draw & label my garden.

1. Which of these is NOT a basic need of a miniature rose?

Sunlight

Water

Soil

Gasoline

2. Check all that apply: Miniature roses help the environment by:

Producing oxygen

Removing all soil nutrients

Providing habitat for insects

Helping pollinators like bees

3. List three important things roses need to grow:

4. Measurement problem: You will plant 5 miniature roses in a straight row with 1 foot spacing between each plant. How many feet long is the row from the first plant to the last?

5. Space check: A rectangular planter is 18 inches wide. How many rose plants spaced 12 inches apart can fit across the width? Show your work.

✏️ Part 2: Design & Reflection

6. Draw your miniature rose garden layout. Include at least 3 rose plants, a water source, and an arrow showing sunlight direction.

7. Label three parts of your drawing (write the label then point to the part):

8. Reflection (1–2 sentences): What would you change if you planted this garden for real, and why?

9. Self-assessment: Check each "I can..." when you can do it:

I can list at least three things roses need to grow.

I can explain one environmental benefit of roses.

I can design and label a simple garden layout.

I can draw and color my garden plan.

Differentiation: Visual steps and sentence starters are available. Pair with a partner for tech or drawing help. Extra time or a template is offered for students who need it.

Extension activities: (choose one) Research pollinators that visit roses and make a mini-poster; or calculate soil volume needed for your planter and show your work in cubic inches.
