Plants have evolved many clever mechanisms to ensure that their seeds will wait for appropriate conditions before sprouting. Some may only germinate after a fire, others only after going through a cold spell. This project explores one...

Cryopreservation-storing seeds in ultra-cold liquid nitrogen-is one method for maintaining plant genetic stocks in seed banks. The purpose of this project is to observe the characteristics and outcomes of cryogenically frozen seedlings...

If you have ever made a wish and blown the fluff of a dandelion, you have witnessed how some plants are adapted to spreading their seeds using the wind. The tiny, furry parachute allows the seeds to be picked up by the wind and to be...

Do you like your strawberry jelly with or without the seeds? Are you glad to have a seed-free watermelon, or do you enjoy spitting the seeds into the garden? You might not like to find seeds in your fruit, but fruit is nature's way of...

Nikki is learning about plant seed dispersal methods. Join in and learn how this is important to plant reproduction.

We all know that plants need sunlight and water to grow big and tall. But did you know that inside seeds are baby plants, and that the fragile baby plant inside the seed needs to be protected? If you've ever had a sunburn, you also know...

This plant biology science fair project that explores factors involved in successful propagation of plants using plant division instead of seeds. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

Hydrogen peroxide (often used as a disinfectant) has also been approved for use in pesticides. This science fair project investigates whether hydrogen peroxide has any effects on seed germination or on roots of plant cuttings.

An experiment where several containers are set up with different numbers of seeds planted in each. The objective is to investigate how seed density affects the health of the plants that grow.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a cute little friend with real-growing hair made of grass and grass seeds.

In this lesson, students will plant seeds, record the changes, and connect the relationship of seeds to plants. This lesson should be taught at the beginning of plant unit.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in...

The students will be collecting, germinating and planting seeds to show the process of plant growth. The students will be recording the information in their science journal. In addition, the students will be observing the water cycle as...

Students will communicate in oral, artistic, written and nonverbal form as they study seeds and their growth. Students will plant seeds, make observations about the seeds' growth, and report their observations to peers .

An exploration for younger students into the diversity of seeds and what is inside a seed. Includes extension activities.

Help Detective Le Plant discover how a seed grows into a plant. Students will learn to describe a seed's structure and what's needed for seed growth.

All about plants has information on plant parts--seeds, flowers, fruits, roots, and spores--and plant processes--seed dispersal, germination, pollination, and photosynthesis. You can also take a tour of this Los Angeles-based...

A collection of teaching resources to help students explore plants! Resources investigate anatomy of plants, reproduction and life cycles, fruits, seeds, classification, photosynthesis, factors that affect plant growth, and respiration....

A webpage for a course on plant biology for non-science majors. The course covers how plants function, diversity among plants, and the roles of plants in the environment. Site includes lectures, a plant project, and a sample exam.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Do all plants grow from seeds? No, there are actually a few plants that do not make seeds. Whether or not a plant makes seeds is one criteria used to classify...

You might not know it, but plants are able to sense their environment and actually respond appropriately. One of the key parameters that every plant must respond to is the direction of gravity: stems go up (opposite to the pull of...

In this plant biology science fair project, students will investigate effects of irradiation on seed germination. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Plants seem to grow wherever they can. How? Plants can't move on their own. So how does a plant start growing in a new area? Learn more about seeds and seed...
