An engaging, multi-session art and science lesson awaits your class. Within this lesson, you'll find everything you need to implement the plan. They go on a nature walk around their school, and must identify many living and non-living...

Children gain first-hand experience with Native American agriculture while investigating the life cycle of plants with this engaging experiment. Focusing on what the natives called the Three Sisters - corn, beans, and squash - young...

Students discover different plants and plant parts by observing their campus.  For this plant life lesson, students take a guided walk around their school with a magnifying glass examining everyday plants as well as photographing...

Students complete an experiment for coaxing flower bulbs into growth. In this flower growth lesson, students research various types of flower bulbs that may be used to complete a coaxing experiment. Students then complete a flower...

Discover why plants are important to our world. View plant parts and categorize them as stems or buds. Students do a cut and paste of pictures of plants into correct categories.  Students also plant a carrot top,and record...

Beginning biologists pull a flower apart and familiarize themselves with the different reproductive structures. Why have them learn only from just a book or diagram when they can examine real samples? There is no link to the referenced...

Students explore how plants move in response to the environment. In this plant instructional activity, students engage in three different experiments to investigate how plants grow and move. Resources available in English and French.

How do seeds get around? It's not like plants can control seed dispersal—or can they? Dig deeper into the amazing mechanisms of seed dispersal observed in tropical plants through interactives, a video, and plenty of hands-on data...

Students examine the plants and animals that make their home in wetlands. While observing, they make sketches of the ones they see with a pencil. To end the lesson, they use watercolors to paint their flowers and animals at the local...

Young scholars explore the parts of flowers and how they reproduce. They dissect flowers and observe the reproductive organs. Students observe anthers and ovaries of Tiger Lilies under a microscope. They investigate how insects and...

First graders observe plants and write and illustrate what they have learned in their discovery journal.

Young scholars investigate how flowering plants reproduce. They identify and describe the functions of the major sexual organs of a flower and fruit by examining and dissecting flowers and fruit.

Students explore parts of the flower. In this plant biology activity, students dissect flowers and identify how the seeds are formed. Students take a nature walk to pick flowers for future dissections.

Students study the reproductive parts and pollination for a flower. For this pollination lesson plan, students dissect flowers to perform an investigation. Students also use tube socks to show how pollination works. A diagram is included.

Studetns create an index card database of different categories of plants such as bushes, trees, flowers, grasses and vegetables. They review the different parts of a plant and label pictures of plants on the database cards. They use the...

Students collect and observe pollen. In this plant reproduction biology lesson, students use pollen boards to collect pollen from flowers, then match it with the correct paper flowers. Students move artificial bees from flower to flower...

Students make observations of flowers. In this life science lesson, students look at flowers, then draw and color their favorite flowers. Lesson includes extension activities.

Second graders study and examine the structure of a flower.  In this pollination lesson, 2nd graders observe pollinators in the garden and dissect a flower. Students then plant strawberry plants in the garden and observe the process...

Learners apply word analysis skills to recognize new words, identify genres of fiction and nonfiction, and identify important themes and topics. They explore differences in plants, flowers, and vegetables. A book bag full of activities...

Students compare and contrast algae and land plants. In this plant lesson students discover what algae and land plants require for growth. The students discuss experimental design. The students experiment with different treatments of...

  Young scholars discuss the differences they can see between examples of animals and plants.  In this science lesson, students draw or write what they have discussed about the examples.  Young scholars go on a nature walk...

Even the youngest kids can make scientific comparisons using collected data. They read The Tiny Seed, then discuss the essential nutrients and elements needed for a seed to grow into a blooming plant. They plant seeds and track their...

Students plant seeds, observe and tend plants. They identify major plant parts, how to germinate and troubleshoot problems with plants; and, that plants need water, light, and soil nutrients to thrive. They create a Plant Growth Data Log.

Students investigate th anatomy of a flower. They investigate the structures and processes by which flowering plants generate pollen, ovules, seeds, and fruit through dissection,
