Two very hip teenagers walk through the forest collecting evergreen cones. One teaches the other about gymnosperms: cycads, ginkoes, gnetophytes, and conifers. He tries to convince his friend how amazing cones are, while she defends...

Did you know that some seeds rely on elephant dung for dispersal? Pupils use class discussion and direct instruction based around a presentation to learn about seed types and dispersal methods. Slides vary from presenting content to...

Ginkgo trees existed for more than 350 million years, and, at this time, only one species still remains. While plant diversity generally increases over geologic time, some interesting exceptions occur. Young scientists learn about plant...

Bryophytes can grow in temperatures just above zero degrees. This 17th installment in a series of 20 introduces learners to the five groups of plants: algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Classes then explore...

It's a jungle out there! That is because of the tremendous diversity among plants. In this AP biology assignment, botanists answer questions about plant evolution, diversity, and reproduction. They differentiate between monocots and...

Here is an all-encompassing overview of the plant kingdom! In this worksheet, beginning botanists describe characteristics of the four different plant phyla, explain various life cycles, differentiate between monocots and dicots, and...

Play Jeopardy as you review what might possibly be an entire year's high school biology course! The vast variety of questions requires that you read through the slides to make sure that they all relate to your curriculum. You could make...

A vast overview of avascular and vascular plants, this PowerPoint displays all of the notes your botanists need to take. It lists primitive plant groups and their characteristics. It separates gymnosperms and angiosperms, also detailing...

There are some great diagrams and labels on these slides that support the topic of plants. The definition of kingdoms, and summaries of the vascular systems and gamete production are given. This would be a perfect choice to kick off a...

One of the reasons plants found success on land relates to seed development. Scholars learn about many different forms of seeds and how they changed over time. It describes the structure and function of many different types of seeds in...

In this plant worksheet, middle schoolers create a map of a familiar area such as their yard, a nearby park, or the school grounds showing the major plants. On their map they identify the plants in three ways following the example...

In this plant activity, learners contrast gymnosperms and angiosperms by completing a table and using information from their textbook. They also identify 5 plants as either monocot or dicot and complete 3 short answer questions about...

Young scholars work in small groups to create posters illustrating the major facts and functions of plant organs. Within their groups, they assume the role of specialists creating specialized posters pertaining to the different parts of...

Students identify what makes up a seed.  In this gymnosperms lesson students identify conifers and explain how they reproduce and what the importance of gymnosperms are. 

In this plant reproduction worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting gymnosperms and angiosperms.

In this fern and gymnosperm learning exercise, students will study a diagram of the life cycle of a lycophyte and then correctly order four life cycle statements. Then students will complete two true or false statements about...

Students examine the differences in nonvascular and vascular plants. They compare the differences between gymnosperm and angiosperms. Students compare the differences between moocots and dicots. They view a powerpoint presentation on...

Tenth graders differentiate angiosperms and gymnosperms. In this biology lesson, 10th graders construct a musical phylogenetic tree from information they gathered on resource websites. They present their project in class.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to fungi and plants. There are 31 biology terms located in the word search.
