Students observe biology by completing a plant experiment in class. In this botany lesson, students discuss the anatomy related to a plant and how roots and stems are necessary to its survival. Students utilize food coloring and examine...

For this Life Cycle of Trees worksheet, students read one page about the life cycle of a trees. Students define 12 terms from the reading.

For this plant parts worksheet, students use provided links to compete questions about plant and their parts. Suggestions and links for additional resources are given.

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...

Learners create a pumpkin art project that outlines the life cycle of a pumpkin in order to learn the growth process of this particular vegetable. In this pumpkin art instructional activity, students first review the life cycle of a...

For this cells worksheet, students will review vocabulary words and information relating to the structure and function of plant and animal cells. This worksheet has 10 crossword puzzle questions, 6 multiple choice, 4 short answer...

Students explore botany by examining diagrams. In this plant reproduction lesson plan, students define a list of plant vocabulary terms and identify plant anatomy from a diagram. Students complete several plant activity worksheets and...

Students witness effects of temperature on plants. They also change temperature from a Celsius or Fahrenheit thermometer.

Students identify and interpret that leaves provide food for new trees and plants. Students cut out leaves and glue them on the appropriate number on included worksheet. Students collect different types of leaves and make leaf rubbings....

Students work together to design an experiment that compares and contrasts differnet plant cultivation systems. In groups, they evaluate the results of the experiment to discover if the cultivation system could be used in space. They...

Students discover seeds are a source of life. They also label the parts of a seed and examine the conditions which are needed for the seed to start growing. They follow the life cycle of seeds.

High schoolers collect and examine different soil samples. They test for specific types of soil elements and the pH level. They answer questions about optimum growing conditions as well.

Fourth graders, in small groups, observe plants and note their characteristics. After drawing pictures of the plants, including their roots systems, they hypothesize in which environments the plants would best thrive. Finally, 4th...

Students investigate the plants and animals found in Utah deserts and how these organisms have adapted to their environment. They brainstorm ways that desert plants are different from or similar to wetland plants.

Sixth graders develop a reasonable hypothesis for a fictional science fair investigation. 'Raquel' is going to grow radishes and test for the best way to nourish them. They create a bar graph and write conclusions.

Learners study pictures of seeds and the conditions in which they grow during their study of archaeobotany. They infer ancient plant use by looking at archaeobotanical samples. They determine the change of plant use by interpreting a...

Young scholars watch for milkweed plants from the previous fall and choose several new plants to monitor. Then make observations and measurements about the plants. The connection with the weather is also made with the monitoring of...

Students observe and describe changes in an environment when some of the components are changed. They recognize the process of succession by preparing a miniaturized environment in which a variety of plants and seeds are grown.

Young scholars plant sprout seeds and make observations. For this lesson about planting, students make observations, predictions, and record information. Young scholars analyze how the sprout plants grow and determine if any of the four...

Fourth graders examine surface terrain and how plants and animals are affected by the temperatures and precipitation that elevation and terrain creates. Then students predict what type of environment plants and animals live in.

Students monitor the growth of milkweed plants. The observations are made to help make conclusions about growth and development.

Students learn about the biological carbon cycle. In this carbon cycle lesson, students access the web site and mouse over the diagrams to follow the carbon cycle. They read about what happens to humans and plants during this cycle.
