GEM Element	Element Value
title	Philanthropy in Bloom
description	This philanthropy and arts unit ties in with your existing unit about plants and the life cycle. Use this unit as a supplement or as a stand-alone review about the needs of plants, parts of the plant, and the life cycle of a plant. Before starting this unit, plant flower seeds (marigolds are ideal) enough in advance that they are already flowering. The students will be exposed to music, visual arts, pre-writing and writing activities. Students will participate in a service-learning project involving the beautification of the community. Students will collaboratively decide on a location to plant flowers to further their understanding of needs and wants in the community.
