Students investigate seeds, flowers and germinating seeds. In this germination lesson plan, students observe a stalk of corn, a corn seed, Gladiolas and glass jars containing germinating sees and plants. Students answer 8 questions...

At minimum, beginning botanists learn the terminology used when discussion seed germination. This set of slides lists basic seed parts, requirements for germination, steps of the process, and then it differentiates between monocot and...

In this plant activity, students contrast gymnosperms and angiosperms by completing a table and using information from their textbook. They also identify 5 plants as either monocot or dicot and complete 3 short answer questions about...

Investigate the structure of seeds and the effects of fertilizer on the growth of plants. Young scientists observe a peanut and determine if it is a monocot or dicot plant. They plant seeds and make varying solutions of fertilizer, then...

Sixth graders identify the parts of a flower, and tell the difference between monocots and dicots. They group plant by leaf types and characteristics placing the information in table form on the computer.

Here is an all-encompassing overview of the plant kingdom! In this activity, beginning botanists describe characteristics of the four different plant phyla, explain various life cycles, differentiate between monocots and dicots, and...

First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.

Young scholars examine how seeds germinate in a culture.  In this germination lesson students germinate seeds in gelatin and observe the growth of the plant.

Students use laboratory equipment safely. They identify structures in a seed. They distinguish between monocots and dicots. They search for information using the computer.

In this dicot and monocot seeds worksheet, students read the difference between the two types of seeds and draw a picture, make a poster, and use the internet to find more research on them. Students complete 3 tasks.

Students 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. Students plant their soaked seeds in...

Students 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.

Young scholars germinate seeds in unflavored gelatin to which liquid house plant food has been added. Students observe and record plant growth in this medium with a variety of variables in a number of experiments.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

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...

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...

Students use the time-lapse feature of the QX3 Intel Digital Microscope to observe germination of seeds. They use the QX3 Intel Digital microscope to create time lapse video films of seed germination experiments.

Learners take a field trip to a local prairie. Using identification books, they identify various forbs and grasses in the prairie. As a class, they discuss the importance of forbs and grasses to the ecosystem and review the various types...

Students investigate how water travels up the stem of vascular plants by using food coloring to stain the xylem of a number of different plants. They know the function of leaves, stems, and root at the end of the experiment.

Third graders review the placement and role of the sun in the solar system. Using beads, they create a necklace which they can use to identify the amount of sunlight is being illuminated. In groups, they record observations on the...
