Students examine several types of plants. In this plant lesson, students complete activities that require them to identify types of plants, chart plant anatomy, and explain plant propagation.

First graders identify basic needs of plants. For this plant growth lesson, 1st graders observe types of plants and review the parts of a plant as well as the development of a seed. Students review related vocabulary and read The...

Students explore botany by examining diagrams. In this plant reproduction lesson plan, students define a list of plant vocabulary terms and identify plant anatomy from a diagram. Students complete several plant activity worksheets and...

Students investigate how a tree grows from a seed. In this plant biology lesson plan, students use potting soil, tree seeds, and a paper cup to observe seeds growing into plants. Students record observations in their science journals.

Students study the concepts of seed dispersal, germination rate, exponential population growth, and predation by engaging in a bean 'weeds vs. natives' relay race. They illustrate how weeds out-compete other plants for space by crowding...

Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. Students measure growth of the seedlings every few days using non-standard...

Second graders view milkweed plants (or pictures). The describe the plant and discuss ways some butterflies use it as a food source. Students view four pictures of different phases of a milkweed plant's life cycle. They discuss the...

Second graders read several books and complete an activity that coincides with each book. i.e. They read 'Berenstain Bears: Grow It' by Stan and Jan Berenstain and then decorate a flower pot, plant flower seeds in it and record their...

Third graders study the factors necessary for plant growth and how plants adapt to their environment. They examine ow different plants require different environments to thrive.

Students study the process of stratification and seed dormancy.  In this germination lesson plan students prepare a medium in which to grow  seeds.

In these plant life worksheets, students complete a instructional activity about parts of a plant, plant life, plant life cycle sequence, and then complete a plant life mini book.

Students use video learning to explore how flowers make seeds and dissect their own flower, and make a flower with its reproductive parts out of construction paper.

In this plants worksheet, learners will compare and contrast the purpose of the flower, fruit, and seeds of a plant. Students will fill in the blank of 5 statements in this graphic organizer.

Students watch a video on plant parts and identify the function of plant parts. In this plants lesson plan, students identify the parts of plants they eat and relate it back to the food pyramid and perform math problems as they do this.

First graders investigate the three main parts of a plant. In this plant parts lesson, 1st graders explore vocabulary for the topic and read a story about plant parts. Students view a PowerPoint and take a quiz for the topic....

Young scholars investigate the growth and changes in plants. They view a video and discuss the changes in plants. They work in small groups to demonstrate vocabulary words to the class. They visit a green house and take pictures of...

In this plant life cycles worksheet, students will write in the main idea of the life cycle of a flowering plant. Then students will write in 3 supporting details.

Students experiment with bean growth in varied conditions.  In this plant biology lesson, students plant beans in soil and in spun cellulose (absorbent material in diapers) and measure the growth of their seedlings. They...

Students identify how vegetable plants grow. In this plant lesson, students brainstorm different fruits and vegetables and read the book Growing Vegetable Soup. Students visit a garden and observe how vegetables grow.

Young scholars make a biodome out of a recycled soda bottle. In this biodome lesson plan, students make a self contained environment for a plant to grow and watch the plants growth.

Students investigate the life cycle of plants by growing their own in class.  In this botany lesson, students practice using plant vocabulary while they grow their own Wisconsin Fast Plants.  Students collaboratively build a...

Students explore botany by participating in a seed experiment. In this plant nutrition lesson, students define several science experiment vocabulary terms like observation, treatment, and replicate. Students utilize soaked seeds in a...

Students collect weed seeds from three varieties of weeds (knapweed, thistle, or toadflax, for example they may choose others in addition to the spotted knapweed.) They sterilize soil for thirty containers, plant seeds in sterile soil,...

Students recognize that food we eat comes from farms.  In this where does food come from lesson, students discuss planting crops and how they grow.  Students plant seeds for edible crops and eat them when are ripe. Students...
