Students explore how plants depend on pollinators to reproduce.  In this pollination lesson students dissect a local flower and collect and identify pollinating insects. 

In this variables worksheet, students are given seven experiments that they read and identify the independent variable, dependent variable, control group and standardizing variable.

Students create a collection of pressed plants. For this plant lesson, students use newspaper, plywood, and a rubberband to press plants they previously collected.

Students investigate how plants take in water, nutrients, and light. They create artwork showing how plants survive in different environments.

Fourth graders complete a variety of exercises and activities surrounding the scientific and artistic properties of the parts and processes of a plant/flower.

First graders investigate how plants grow by growing their own "beanstalk", (after reading "Jack and the Beanstalk") and record their observations daily in a science journal.

Middle schoolers identify and analyze pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of flowering plants. They also identify the process of plant pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of...

Students study seeds and plants. In this science lesson, students explore seeds from various types of plants and complete a worksheet about seeds. Students discuss plants that are fruits and vegetables and where they grow.

Students witness various stages of mitosis through preparing onion root tip slides. With teacher guidance, they learn a great deal through the hands-on process of preparing the slides themselves.

Germination is an amazing process that results in amazing things. The book The Tiny Seed is the inspiration for a set of activities that will help build early literacy, observation, language, and writing skills. The class observes how...

Examine the growth regions and tissues in plants.  The structures and specialized areas of roots, stems, and shoots are defined and supported with diagrams and pictures. Your class will also learn the details of specific growth...

Learners explore how people use plants for food. They use pretzels to see how wheat can be turned into food.

Students investigate seeds and plant life by creating a germination chamber.  In this botany lesson, students investigate the relationship between flowers and the fruit they produce while examining the structure of the flower. ...

Students identify the parts of a plant and their functions. In this plant biology instructional activity, students view a PowerPoint presentation on plants and their parts and discuss the functions of each part. Students observe a real...

Students fill out worksheets about insects and how they are helpful to our world. In this insects lesson plan, students learn about flower parts and insects that pollinate them.

Students conduct Internet research on plants and complete a WebQuest on vegetable plants. They use a graphic organizer to display their findings, observe actual vegetables and design a salad, noting which part of each plant is included.

Second graders examine the characteristics of plants. As a class, they brainstorm a list of items plants need in order to survive. In groups, they complete various experiments in which they discover the functions of the parts of the plant.

In this basics of genetics learning exercise, learners review the concepts of genetic inheritance by writing the alleles for genetic traits inherited in offspring. They identify dominant and recessive traits given allele pairs, answer...

Students explore the parts of a flower and pollination of flowers. For this plants lesson, students use an interactive whiteboard to label the parts of a plant and the functions of each part. Students complete a worksheet as an assessment.

Students investigate the parts of a flower. In this earth science instructional activity, students read the book The Magic School Bus Plants Seeds and identify various plant parts. Students construct a model of a flowering plant from...

Students explore biology by listening to an in-class lecture. For this plant science lesson, students sing songs with their classmates regarding anatomical parts of a plant and create plants from arts and crafts materials. Students...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...

Students identify what plants need to grow. For this plant biology lesson, students analyze the differences between an artificial plant and a live plant. Students plant seeds and discuss what plants need to grow. Students observe the...

Ninth graders identify plant parts by using different classification methods. In this plant lesson students observe and draw different types of leaves then classify them according to species.
