Seed Germination
Young scholars germinate a Mung Bean seed. In this seed lesson students conduct an experiment germinating a Mung Bean. They apply three different treatments to the seeds: dry, moist, and underwater incubation.

Seed Sensations!
First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.
Curated OER
Investigating Monocots and Dicots
Students know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.

Measuring the Rate of Metabolism
Plant respiration can be a difficult concept for young biologists to grasp; with a hands-on lab, learners can collect and graph data, then calculate the metabolism rate for the plants they studied. If you do not have a respirometer,...

Will It Grow?
Fifth graders conduct experiments involving plants. In this science lesson, 5th graders design an experiment involving plants. Students use the scientific method to design their experiments.

The Lost Hydroponics Chamber Lesson
Young scholars understand the definition of hydroponics. In this space hydroponics less, students simulate the experiment conducted in space. Young scholars answer questions based on their experiment.

Sumptuous Sprouting Seeds!
Third graders investigate the wonderful and wondrous world of plants. They examine the inside of a seed, explore the different parts of a seed, plant their own seeds, watch them sprout and then eat them! They describe, using their...

Time Lapse Seed Germination with the QX3 Intel Digital Microscope
Students use the time-lapse feature of the QX3 Intel Digital Microscope
to observe germination of seeds. They use the QX3 Intel Digital microscope to create time lapse video films of seed germination experiments.

Science - What Can Living Things Do
In these living things worksheets, students write true or false for the sentences about living things. Students answer the questions about living things and choose the words that best describe the statements about living things.
Curated OER
Seed To Plant
Learners are introduced to alternative methods of growing techniques: specifically, hydroponics. They, in groups, "adopt" a seed. They take care of their seed and make observations as it begins to germinate.
Curated OER
Rain Reasons
Pupils explore how climatic factors influence the growth of plants. They create an experiment to find how variations in water, light, and temperature affect plant growth and describe how precipitation and geography can affect the growth...
Curated OER
Planting
Learners form groups to conduct an experiment. They plant seedlings to test the effects of sunlight, water and soil, on the growth of seedlings.
Curated OER
Tree Anatomy
Students learn the basic anatomy of a tree through exploration of tree centers.
Curated OER
From Seed to Plant
Students adopt seeds, recording their observations as they draw their seeds, germinate them, and plant their seedlings using the hydroponic method. Students maintain journals recording their germination experiments.
