Students grow mold. In this science experiment lesson, students grow mold on different pieces of bread by adjusting the moisture, temperature, and light. They record the results to see which grows the most mold. 

Students conduct an experiment to determine if a plant's response to gravity is affected by different angles of plant orientation.

Students conduct an experiment and use different measurements of a single root to illustrate the mechanism of plant movement.

Young scholars participate in a Web Quest activity in which they identify common exotic invasive plant species of the Southern Appalachian Region. After identifying the top 10 exotic invasive species, they choose one to research in depth.

Students plant their seeds and collect and organize their own materials for planting. They also set up their planters with wicks, fertilizer, potting mix, and seeds. Finally, students write their names on planter markers with a ball...

First graders compare and contrast different seeds before planting them. They assess the basic needs to plants and conduct experiments of deprivation of those needs. They write stories and draw pictures of plants which are bound into a...

Students harvest and thresh the seeds. They count the seeds and compare that number with the original number of seeds planted (8) to determine their profit or loss. Finally, students think about additional questions they have about...

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.

Students identify the necessary factors for seed germination and plant growth in a game format.

Students observe the effects of gravity on seeds. Students place seeds in various orientations and record their growth to determine how gravity affects the seeds' growth.

Students identify seeds humans eat and do not eat. Students make seed collections, using common kitchen foods. Students display seeds from the foods they serve and discuss them with their guests. Students complete activities which...

1. Bring a pound or two of sunflower seeds in their shells to class, along with five or six small paper or Styrofoam cups and a bowl large enough to hold the seeds. Make several copies of the situation cards printed on the following...

In this gardening worksheet, students answer a set of questions about seeds eaten form breakfast in cereals, 10 questions total.

Students identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of plant and...

Students will research the origin of corn, analyze factors that contribute to shorter and longer growing seasons, and use the scientific method to answer the question: Did seed selection contribute to the successful movement of corn from...

Third graders investigate how a seed germinate to become a plant. They study a lima bean to review the parts of seeds.

Students observe the pistil growing into a tiny string bean-like seed pod. They then observe the development of the fertilized pods between Day 17 and Day 35 and record their observations by drawing and labeling, writing, and graphing. ...

Students determine what part of a plant they are eating when they eat different fruits and vegetables.

Young scholars use the Internet to research the importance of leaves, stems and roots to plants. They participate in a hands-on experiment to identify the functions of different plant parts.

In this science worksheet, students will plant some birdseed on a sponge to see if there is anything inside the seeds. Students will keep a record of how the seeds change over several days.

Students explore the letter P and things that start with the letter P. They read The Popcorn Book by Tomie DePola. Students discuss things that start with the letter P. They plant their own popcorn plant and watch as the popcorn seeds...

Students graph the data collected on seedling establishment and survival for each soil type over a 6 week period. Each lab group graphs data gathered from one plant. They choose a color for each soil type and create a key for the...

Middle schoolers share what they know about plants and discuss what else they would like to know. The teacher evaluates students' prior knowledge of plants to inform future instruction. Middle schoolers practice observation and...

Learners use this laboratory exercise as a growth medium that contains the macronutrient and micronutrient needs of plants. They observe the effects of different hormones on tissue cultures and must use variations of the basic growth...
