The Life Cycle of a Seed Reader's Theater script

Level 2

Bring your science standards to life with this engaging Reader's Theater play designed to help your students learn about the life cycle of a sunflower seed. This fun script reinforces reading skills, science standards, science vocabulary, fluency, and speaking and listening skills.

Students will learn about the different stages a sunflower seed goes through starting with the seed and ending with the mature sunflower plant that gets pollinated, grows new seeds, then wilts and releases those new seeds to start the cycle again. Included are diagrams of the life cycle to help students clearly understand each stage.

This script also covers how a sunflower seed needs water, sunlight, and soil to grow as well as how the plant turns light energy into food via photosynthesis.

This is a Level 2 script meaning this would great for your "on grade level students" (grades 2nd-3rd) or your "lower level readers" (grades 4th-5th). There are 9 characters with larger and smaller speaking roles identified on the script. You could easily combine parts for less roles or split up lines to accommodate more readers.
