Students study indigenous plants. They examine why they are special, why some might be threatened, by what forces (pollution, habitat destruction), and what else relies on the continued existence of these plants (insects, animals). They...

Students adopt seeds, recording their observations as they draw their seeds, germinate them, and plant their seedlings using the hydroponic method. Students maintain journals recording their germination experiments.

Learners explain the standard growth pattern of a monocot seedling and word process a finished essay.

Students construct a small greenhouse and plant lima beans. They read books about plants, tend the lima bean seedlings, observe and record plant growth, taste a variety of plants and maintain plant journals.

Young scholars conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. For this seed germination lesson, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. young scholars complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data...

Students discuss Restoration Ecology. They see that restoration can mean removing invasive, non-native plants and replacing them with native plants grown by Students.

Third graders transplant, tend and observe a plant for each letter of the alphabet in a school garden. They work individually to research and select a plant that will grow in their local climate. Students then care for and observe the...

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

Students predict outcomes of scientific experiment,.conduct a scientific experiment with control groups, and plant seeds to observe, measure, and compare growth across groups. They gather, record, analyze, and share data with other...

In this biology instructional activity, students read about the parts of plant seeds and look at a seed diagram. They read about the roots, endosperm, embryo, and the process of germination. They answer 8 online multiple choice questions...

Third graders study plants. In this biology lesson plan, 3rd graders label and identify parts of plants, identify spices obtained from plants, and determine what part of a plant a spice comes from by using taste, touch, smell and sight.

Students investigate the effects of UV light and ozone on plant and bacteria growth. In this ultraviolet light and ozone lesson plan, students grow bean and mustard greens to study the effects of UV light and ozone on the plant growth....

Students explore interrelationships among plants and animals.  Students listen to Where to, Little Wombat? by Charles Fuge, and contribute words and phrases for a classroom animal and plant survival chart. Students take a walk in a...

Second graders grow a classroom garden that acts as a living laboratory for cross-curricular activities. For this classroom garden lesson, 2nd graders follow directions to build and plant a garden that is used to teach math, science, and...

Students select the best non-flowering stems of plants and remove the leaves from the soon to be buried portion of the stem. They fill seedling flats with soil and insert the cuttings, label, and water.

All trees are not created equal. A set of three wildlife conservation lessons has learners examine the characteristics of individual trees. They look at the life cycle of the tree using a story and reference a field guide to identify...

Students explore the process of growing plants from seed. In this propagation lesson, students examine methods of propagation and determine how to rapidly propagate plant species. Students listen to a lecture informing them on the topic...

Learners explore biotic and abiotic factors in landscape design. In this landscaping instructional activity, students create 3-dimensional models that represent landscape designs taking into consideration climate and planting...

Learners experiment with seeds and germination. In this natural science lesson, students discuss the stages of germination. Learners engage in a 4 part hands on science activity to view the process of germination.

Students identify the physical needs of animals and if plants need the same things as animals. They conduct an experiment to see if plants need light and water to grow. They compare the growth of the plants exposed to the different...

Seventh graders examine how the environment can affect biological processes. They identify the best conditions for the germination of bean seeds. They record and analyze their data. They write about their observations in an essay.

Young scholars grow flower and vegetable transplants from seed in the school greenhouse. They properly plant seeds, transplant seedlings, and care for the plants by using recommended culture methods. In addition, they identify the...

Second graders plant seeds of native plants. They study the concepts of native plants, where they grow, how they grow, and why they are so special. They assess long term care monitoring the seedlings as they grow and write the name...

Students observe plants growing over time, measure specific plant growth, and gather and record data on plan growth.
