In this plant learning exercise, students create a map of a familiar area such as their yard, a nearby park, or the school grounds showing the major plants. On their map they identify the plants in three ways following the example...

In this water desalinization worksheet, students will design and construct their own desalinization plant. Then they will describe how they set up their experiment and if it worked or not.

This PowerPoint includes a game with ocean graphics in which two teams answer increasingly difficult questions about animals. Topics covered include plant and animal cells, animal adaptation, and similarities and differences between...

Second graders experiment to find if pollinators have color preferences.  In this plant and bug lesson plan, 2nd graders gather information about how flowers pollinate. Students participate in a pollination experiment...

Young scholars read and discuss a research article that explains the unlikely link between increased fish populations and increased plant pollination. They answer reading guide questions to discover this ecological relationship.

Fifth graders participate in activities during a visit to Central Park. In this urban life lesson, 5th graders visit Central Park where they explore pond dipping, stream chemistry, and play a native plant Bingo game.

Second graders study earthworms. In this science lesson, 2nd graders observe an earthworm using a magnifying lens, draw pictures of the earthworm, and record their observations.

Students observe pictures of plants and forests. They observe their own plants in a plot of land especially for them. They are to identify the plants in the photographs they saw.

Students reflect on challenges that face farmers in cultivating crops, including insects. They then simulate how crops are affected by native and non-native insect populations and the options farmers have to protect their crops. Finally,...

Students study plant parts and their functions.  In this plant life instructional activity students participate in an activity of planting plants.

Students research both plant and animal cell characteristics. They draw the parts of each cell and as groups present their research.

In this plant activity, students will review plant classification by comparing plant characteristics. Students will determine what is needed for photosynthesis to occur. Students will also explore plant transpiration and the...

Learners explore plants and the scientific method. In this plant growth lesson, students follow the steps in the scientific method to perform a seed germination experiment as a whole class. Learners work in a group to create their own...

Students identify the parts of plant and animal cells, how samples can be obtained and what the differences are.

Young scholars examine the nutrient makeup in fertilizers.  In this plant nutrient lesson students see the effects of common fertilizers on plants.

In this plant classification worksheet, students compare plants with flowers and plants with cones by filling in the blank of 7 statements.

In this plant worksheet, students study a diagram of a magnified root cross-section. Students use this diagram to complete 2 true or false questions.

For this plant reproduction worksheet, students review the stages of the reproductive cycle of flowering plants. This worksheet has 1 matching, 1 short answer, and 1 true or false question.

Students conduct observational studies of three ecosystems by visiting the Web World Wonders website. They gather data, compare/contrast the information, and decide on the establishment of a nuclear power plant at one site over the others.
