Fifth graders examine plant and animal cells. In this plant and animal cell lesson, 5th graders define what cells are, label their parts, and describe how plant and animal cells are different. They observe cells at a number of web sites,...

Third graders, in groups, make a model of a plant or animal cells and represent each of the organelles in the cell.

Students discover the reproductive parts of a plant.  For this biology lesson, students identify and categorize several different plants they dissect in class.  Students record their information using a data chart.

Students microscopically observe various subcellular components. They determine the effects of different salt solutions on Elodea plant cells. They detect the presence of chloroplasts, cell walls, and cell membranes of Elodea.

Young scholars explain the importance of chlorophyll in plants. In this biology lesson, students extract chlorophyll from different plant sources using chromatography. They discover the different factors needed for photosynthesis to take...

Fourth graders identify plant characteristics from different environments and communicate that information in different ways. They use a simple scheme to classify Utah plants and animals and make observations and record them in a...

A hands-on activity which allows young scholars to learn about cellular respiration. This lesson contains a range of investigations testing the rates of cellular respiration to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic rates of...

In this plant parts worksheet, students will fill in the blank of 4 statements about the function of the roots, stems, and leaves.

Students review the life cycle of apples before they study information about the inside of apples. They work in small groups to color and identify the parts of the inside of an apple. Finally, they use real apples to have an hands on...

Students sow seeds of learning. In this biology lesson plan, students label parts of a dicotyledon seed by function as well as by proper names.

Students investigate different types and their parts. They differentiate prokaryote and eukaryote cells and create a venn diagram displaying differences or similarities. Students write ten similes related to the cells and parts of them.

Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. For this biology lesson, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.

Learners identify the different parts and function of a flower's reproductive system. In this biology lesson, students explain how pollination works. They watch a video and practice labeling parts of both flower and leaf.

Students study the parts of a crinoid. In this parts of a crinoid lesson, students look at pictures of a crinoid fossil or examine an actual fossil if one is available. They match names to pictures of the parts in the second part of the...

Students use the Internet to learn about the cacao plant.  In this plants lesson, students complete a KWL chart on chocolate, learn about cocoa plants and discuss the parts of a plant.  Students use the Internet to learn how...

Students work together to discover the path water follows in plants. They create multicolored flowers. They label each part of the plant and note their function.

Students create friendship bracelets and quilt squares. In this plant lesson student dye their own string and cotton material with plant pigments. Students use the naturally dyed materials to create the friendship bracelets and quilt...

Students identify various parts of plants and determine which parts people eat. They conduct a celery stalk experiment in which they determine the value and use of the stem, and how it helps the plant to meet its needs. Students use a...

In this plant cell worksheet, students color a diagram of a plant cell, identify its parts and answer four analysis questions.

In this biology worksheet, students write identify the different parts of a leaf shown in 5 different diagrams. They also complete 12 short answer questions after reading the information about leaves.

Sixth graders identify plants in the wetlands. In this plant detectives lesson, 6th graders complete a scavenger hunt on a local reserve, record observations, and respond in their journals.
