Students investigate how worms affect plant growth.  In this biology lesson, students construct a worm ecosystem in a plastic 2 liter bottle and plant a seed in the soil.  They later compare the ecosystems with worms to ones...

In germination experiment activity, students conduct the following lab activity. Students determine the effects of another tomato on germinating seeds. Students answer the following questions to analyze their experiment.

Students examine birdseed to see if it is a fertilized seed. For this birdseed garden lesson, students experiment with birdseed on a sponge to see what grows. Students record the growth of seeds.

Students study the pumpkin. For this pumpkin lesson, students participate in different activities that explain the history of pumpkins and how pumpkins develop and grow, read "The Great Pumpkin Story" and answer comprehensive questions...

Students read The Empty Pot as an introduction to plants. In this planting lesson, students understand a sequence of events in the book and relate it to the sequence of a plants life. Students grow plants and record information in flower...

Young scholars investigate how plants grow in different biomes. In this biomes lesson plan, students plant sees of impatiens, lima beans and rye seeds in egg cartons. When the plants begin to grow they simulate the assigned biome...

In this 4-H horticulture and gardening worksheet, students study how some of the food they eat is the stems, roots, leaves, seeds, and flowers of plants by completing a fill-in-the-blank activity and a word search page. They examine the...

In this succession worksheet, students build an ecosystem using a jar, water, bird seed, soil and a water plant. They predict what their ecosystem will look like in 3 weeks and draw a diagram. Students record their data over the course...

Students listen to the book, The Ogre Bully, and discuss the problems the farmer and his family had during the story.  In this garden themed instructional activity, students examine different fruit and vegetables and plant them...

These lessons use a variety of methods and approaches to teach flowering plant biology which includes seed germination; plant growth and food production through photosynthesis; plant transpiration and respiration; sexual reproduction...

Students examine the edible parts of a plant and explore their function. They define what makes a fruit classified as a fruit. They create a sketch or map or photo of a 1930s farm and justify their plant selections.

Third graders make food. In this agriculture lesson, 3rd graders learn about the history of the potato. Students then plant potatoes, harvest them, and make french fries, potato salad or potato soup.

High schoolers 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...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need soil to survive and grow. They plant two seeds, one with soil and one without, make predictions, and record and analyze the seed germination results on a worksheet.

First graders, after assessing how plants grow in relation to light, create models of sunflowers within a game to help them remember their science lesson. In addition, their visual models serve as a demonstration of photo tropism in...

Third graders study the terms pollen and pollination. They use appropriate vocabulary in describing their investigations, explorations, and observations (e.g., stem, pistil, stamen, flower). They describe, using their observations,...

In this relationships and biodiversity worksheet, students investigate the relationships between 4 plants sample using 7 different tests. These include looking at structural characteristics of the plants, seeds and stems, using paper...

Students conduct a series of experiments on mulching. For this earth science lesson, students discuss the benefits of mulching on soil. They explore how different types of mulch affect plant growth.

Beans, or legumes as they are sometimes called, are the topic for an integrated multi-subject lesson. Youngsters will read, write, observe, and research everything there is to know about beans. They read a bean story, conduct a bean...

In this rate of change worksheet, students read about how to calculate the rate of change in different processes such as plant growth. They are given example problems and practice calculating rates of change.

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping,...

Students create flip books that illustrate the growth and change of a plant or an animal as it goes through its life cycle.

Second graders conduct a plant experiment.  In this basic needs of plants instructional activity, 2nd graders observe plants for two weeks. Students record data from their plants in journals. 

Young scholars gain an understanding of where our food comes from. In this plant life activity, students review what plants need for growth and how long it takes them to grow. Young scholars research which plants it takes to make...
