Students study seeds and spring planting. They plant corn, chili, watermelon seeds in a local field and then invite a farmer to come to discuss the preparation, caring and planting of seeds in a field.

Students discover the process of planting chili. After comparing two types of seeds students plant and with the use of a digital camera, record the seed progress. When ready for transplant, students take young plants to a retirement...

Young scholars form groups to conduct an experiment. They plant seedlings to test the effects of sunlight, water and soil, on the growth of seedlings.

Students collect seeds outside to study under the microscope.

RJ hangs out in Zoe's garden as she explains pollination, flower anatomy, and fertilization. This cartoon-styled feature is sure to stay in your botanists' minds! Follow it with the dissection of large flowers, such as the lily. 

The techniques of growing plant cells, tissues, and seeds are covered here. The main scientists working on theories and different developments through the decades of the 20th century have slides, and then specific details of the...

It may not stand as a cohesive presentation, but individually you may find a use for these slides. One slide describes how civilization began once man learned to plant and harvest food. Another explores the population growth over time....

Students investigate the growing of beans by using a creative experiment. They plant and grow beans in a bag before transplanting them. The bean bag is checked several times a day and the data is recorded. The data is analyzed and...

Learners listen to a story, plant seeds, and study about heritage seeds. They read seed packages for plant needs and sizes, plant seeds. They read story "How Groundhog's Garden Grew" which covers many activities of planting, growing...

Fourth graders participate in a scientific experiment involving growing lima beans. Students plot information gathered on included charts and graphs. Students use the steps of the scientific method throughout this experiment.

Fifth graders explore genetic traits. In this genetic traits lesson, 5th graders discover how traits are passed from parent to offspring while examining plants. Students problem solve real world applications.

Young scholars complete a seed and plant growth activity. In this plant growth instructional activity, students read about Lady Bird Johnson and then answer questions about her role in the beautification and the environment. Young...

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.

Students 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.

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.

Second graders begin the lesson by planting their own bean seed. Individually, they make predictions about how many leaves and roots their plant might grow and each day record their observations. They graph the results of the length of...

Students use the scientific inquiry method to identify the changes in a plant's life cycle. In groups, they plant different types of plants and use a chart to compare and contrast their growth rates. They share their conclusions with...

Students identify plant parts. In this plants lesson, students bring in a vegetable. Each student classifies which part of the plant their vegetable comes from (flower, root, ect.) Students identify the parts of their vegetable and later...

In this edible plants worksheet, learners study several elements to a root, leaf, fruit, and stem of a plant. Students complete several questions and draw the different elements.

First graders investigate how seeds are moved and how plants grow.  In this plant growth lesson, 1st graders listen to stories, play a game, and view a PowerPoint about plant growth. Students examine various seeds and recognize how...

Students combine their prior knowledge about plants with a garden learning activity. In this science gardening lesson, students discuss what plants need to survive. Students then plant a seed themselves and demonstrate learning by caring...

Fifth graders explore the effects of overpopulation in an ecosystem while applying the scientific method. They discuss overpopulation and its meaning. Students as an organism competes for space in an overpopulated area. They plant...

In this plant worksheet, students study the names of plant parts and the function of each part. There are no questions associated with this page.

Students calculate the reproductive rate of a plant that creates multi seed fruits. They graph exponential growth and the complete a series of questions that help them infer that natural selection processes are at work in this population.
