Students demonstrate hormonal control of plant tissue differentiation and relate this differentiation to gene expression. They explore the effects of hormones (auxin and cytokinin) on the genes that control tissue differentiation in callus.

Students demonstrate skills of biotechnology stringent aseptic technique and statistical analysis. They describe hormonal control of plant tissue differentiation and relate this to gene expression. Students observe the effects of...

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.

Students observe changes in a selected tree bud/leaf during spring. They record changes in the bud/leaf using words, pictures and numbers. They understand that trees adapt to changes in temperature, light, and moisture by sprouting leaves.

Fourth graders explore forest species' adaptations to fire by participating in a scavenger hunt and mapping a burned forest. Students create maps and explore how indigenous species adapted to living with fire.

Students note how given traits could be achieved by selective breeding and by transgenesis. They identify different uses of GEO. Students recognize that the use of letters (Bt) before an organism's name means that the organism has had a...

Ninth graders analyze cars and particulate matter in the atmosphere. They analyze results of particulate pollutants and identify which vehicle gives off more particulates. They identify sources of particulate matter and relate to...

Students participate in a virtual field trip to Lake Superior. In groups, they perform experiments in which test the level of toxins and bacteria in the water. They also watch video segments life in the lake and discuss their observations.

Students will observe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Then they observe the links due to climate changes and relate how climate change affects their lives.

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Students experience and practice compositing and recycling through hands-on-activities. They distinguish between which items from their trash can be recycled, composted and reused. The process for making recycled paper is also covered in...

Young scholars identify that Idaho is a home to 168 species of butterflies and they are an important part of many habitats. They also identify how to use the Digital Atlas of Idaho and write a report regarding information of their...

In this science worksheet, learners use the key code on the right to unscramble each of the scientists. They also match each of the scientists found to their correct description.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to the alternation of generations, a life cycle characteristic of all plants.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses the general life cycle of plants.

Understand the reproduction and life cycle of plants.

Very detailed outline describing several aspects of plant diversity, including vascular vs. nonvascular, evolutionary adaptations, homosporous and heterosporous life cycles, and specific information on some ancient species (Lycophytes,...

This program uses a scenario with fictional detective characters to present plant growth to students. While the unit focuses on the basic needs and parts of plants, the topics of plant classification and adaptations, soil formation and...

This is a large collection of resources on cycles of nature and the Earth. There is a constant exchange of the elements between air, earth, water, plants, and animals. Most biological processes wind up back where they started. These...

Plants grow and change on a time scale that is too slow for us to observe in real time. Time-lapse photography is a simple technique that allows us to see the movements of plants and clearly demonstrates that plants are living and...

Great PDF to teach learners about plant reproduction and life cycle. There are many teacher printables.

A collection of teaching resources to help students explore plants! Resources investigate anatomy of plants, reproduction and life cycles, fruits, seeds, classification, photosynthesis, factors that affect plant growth, and respiration....

Olaf the viking is learning about the life cycle of plants. Help him tend to his garden as he learns.

Interactive learning activity examines the global carbon cycle and describes the exchanges of carbon between the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land and fossil fuels.
