Students form groups to conduct an experiment. They plant seedlings to test the effects of sunlight, water and soil, on the growth of seedlings.

Students identify plant parts. In this plants lesson, students bring in a vegetable. Each student classifies which part of the plant their vegetable comes from (flower, root, ect.) Students identify the parts of their vegetable and later...

Students plant seeds and watch their plants grow in the classroom while learning about the process.

Read the story "Sunflower House,"  by Eve Bunting with your 2nd graders to investigate the relationships between plants and animals. They will discover how living things change during their lives by creating their own sprout houses....

High school or college horticulturists will appreciate this PowerPoint on seed-propagation. It walks them through the science behind seed production and germination as well as the requirements for growing plants from this stage....

Students understand that some plants grow better with other plants. In this companion planting lesson plan, students observe the "three sisters" growing system used by the Native Americans. Students understand that small gardens grow...

Learners observe earth science by participating in a planting activity. In this seeds lesson, students identify the process for seeds to transform into plants which eventually produce food. Learners sow seeds in the ground and eventually...

Third graders explore companion planting. In this lesson, 3rd graders listen to the Native American story The Three Sisters about crop planting. Students determine the important roles within companion planting.

Young scholars explore plant life. In this science lesson plan, students demonstrate and record the stages of plant growth and categorize food plants by identifying the edible part.

Third graders investigate the life cycle of a seed. The parts of a lima bean are presented as part of a review. They identify the parts of the seed and state different stages as seen in observation. Students also use an illustration to...

Young scholars 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.

Students examine the role of light and dark in a living environment. In this photosynthesis lesson, students hypothesize about the best environment for plant growth, record observations using plant seeds in various light and dark...

Young scholars explore plant science by participating in a botany activity. In this seed growth lesson, students identify the necessary elements to ensure a plant grows well and prepare seeds for planting. Young scholars plant their...

In these plant life worksheets, students complete a worksheet about parts of a plant, plant life, plant life cycle sequence, and then complete a plant life mini book.

Students explore plants and the scientific method. For this plant growth lesson, students follow the steps in the scientific method to perform a seed germination experiment as a whole class. Students work in a group to create their own...

Students describe biology by identifying different plants in class. In this seed lesson, students discuss the process of how a plant grows from seed to leaves. Students attend a field trip to their garden or another park and collect a...

In this plant activity, students read about plants and growing things from a seed. They then answer the 14 questions on the activity. The answers are on the last page.

Fifth graders plant and take care of a lima bean plant and make predictions on its growth.  In this science lesson plan, 5th graders chart their records and make conclusions about their experiment. 

Students plant bean seeds, watch them grow, and measure them with non-standard objects. They describe the bean's growth in a journal and record the growth on a calendar.

Learners explain that events in nature follow an orderly progression when they plant seeds and observe the development of the seeds. They count seeds and find the likenesses and the differences of many seeds.

In this reasoning learning exercise, students draw pictures of beans in empty jigsaw puzzles. Students use the number of beans specified; every part must have at least one bean and parts that touch can't have the same number of beans....

Students write the steps needed to germinate bean seeds, make predictions and observations and keep an experience journal and complete a chart.

Second graders read literature regarding the growth of seeds. They investigate how seeds need water and light to sprout and then grow. They experiment by planting their own bean seeds. They record the progress of their seeds in both...

Student groups use lima beans to represent dicots and corn to represent monocots, soak the seeds, and separate the embryos from the cotyledons. They then place the seeds in Petri dishes in agar and observe for at least one week recording...
