Sixth graders discover the different plants that grow in different climates through specimen collections.  In this botany instructional activity, 6th graders examine plants from both New Jersey and Ecuador and discuss what...

Students investigate seeds and plant life by creating a germination chamber.  In this botany lesson plan, students investigate the relationship between flowers and the fruit they produce while examining the structure of the...

Students identify the different types of mushrooms. For this biology lesson, students explore different mushroom experiments they can do at home. They discuss ways to extend sliced mushrooms' shelf life.

Students identify different plant hormones and explain their function in plant development. In this biology lesson, students investigate how IAA affect root growth. They study the history of auxin discovery.

Students conduct various experiments to investigate plant transpiration. In this biology lesson plan, students explain how this process helps maintain the hydrologic cycle. They measure the rate of water loss in plants using a potometer.
