Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. For this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Incorporate multiple facets of the cell into your next high school lab! Through an introduction to cell organelles, class members observe each cell type and draw visuals to further demonstrate understanding of cellular processes in both...

Can paper flowers have some of the same properties as real flowers? First, learners investigate how water is absorbed into a flower through capillary action by using real flowers, yarn, and paper. Then, they have an opportunity to create...

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

The title is a little deceiving since only one of 17 slides is dedicated to the function of leaves, while the rest is dedicated to the structure. Both internal and external structure is taught with accompanying diagrams. If you are going...

Your archaeologists begin this task with a table of values to estimate the time passed based on the half-life of Carbon 14 remaining in a plant. They then move on to find when a specific amount of Carbon 14 is present in the same plant,...

A straightforward worksheet has botanists list plant organs and functions, plant cell organelles and their functions, specialized plant tissues and their functions. Three high-quality diagrams are displayed for them to label as well....

The human body contains more than 200 types of cells, and plants contain many other unique types of cells. While a huge variety of cells exist, they appear to have very similar structures. A detailed presentation describes the structure...

Introduce botany or biology beginners to nutrient transport in plants by assigning this instructional activity. Learners describe turgor pressure and its role in hydroregulation. They explain the functions of xylem, phloem, stomata, and...

First-time florists will be able to label the structures of simple and composite flowers after reading this handout and answering the comprehension questions. There are a couple of grammatical errors in the text, but the content is...

In this building your own cell worksheet, students identify cell vocabulary and facts, and create posters of a labeled plant cell and an animal cell. In this fill-n-the-blank and posters worksheet, students provide twenty-three answers.

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

Students learn about plants. In this plant function activity, students label the parts of a plant and their functions. Students work in small groups to create three simile statements to relate to the function of essential plant parts....

Turn your classroom into a greenhouse with a lesson on plant growth. First, investigate the different parts of seeds, identifying the seed coat, cotyledon, and embryo. Then plant the seeds and watch them grow! Measure the new plants...

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

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

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...

Explore water transport in plant stems using this fun experiment! Your scientists will start by reading Stems by Vijaya Bodach. Then, activate prior knowledge about plant stem functions and water transportation....

Life science learners investigate live cells. They examine wet mount slides of cyanobacteria and Elodea plants. They peer into the dynamic microscopic world of protists. Afterward, they construct a model of a cell, including rudimentary...

In this plant cell learning exercise, students sharpen their science skills as they color the parts of a plant cell according to the instructions and then respond to 4 analysis questions.

In this biology worksheet, learners examine the functions of plant parts while solving the crossword puzzle. This strengthens vocabulary knowledge.
