How the lesson starts: Connect Events, Ideas, and Steps

Juno's sunflower plan
Meet Juno the goat. Juno wants to grow a sunflower as tall as a barn! First she must follow the steps. Steps go in order, like links in a chain.
Order words
Juno reads how to plant a seed. First, fill a cup with soil. Next, poke a hole with your finger. Then drop in the seed and cover it. Last, add water and sun.
Juno checks the order
Could Juno drop in the seed before she pokes the hole? No! The hole has to come first. Could she water it before the soil is in the cup? Messy! Ask, what has to happen before this?
