Young scholars compare and contrast algae and land plants. For this plant lesson students discover what algae and land plants require for growth. The young scholars discuss experimental design. The students experiment with different...

Students thresh wheat. In this comprehension and comparison lesson plan, students read the Little Red Hen and retell the story based on the beginning, middle and end. Students get a wheat stem, predict the number of seeds in their seed...

Students analyze soil for types of pollen to determine the probably climate conditions. In this earth science lesson plan, students make conclusions on what a climate is like based on soils samples. Students use a model soil...

Students influence the plant life cycle as they take care of plants.In this caring for plants lesson plan, students understand the parts of the plant and their functions in keeping it alive. Students participate in experiments with...

Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination.  In this pollination lesson, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different types of flowers.

Young scholars role-play how organisms adapt to their environment. They play 20 questions with plant and animal habitats. They create a web of life to demonstrate how each plant and animal relies on the other for survival.

Students examine how erosion is affected by the composition of the soil and the slope of the land. They look at plant roots, rocks and land slope as experimental factors. They complete the associated worksheets before discussing their...

Learners plant a garden and keep track of it. In this geometrical garden instructional activity, students collect data from their garden twice a week. They graph their finding and figure out how many square feet of growing space...

Students create their own terrariums.  In this ecological model activity, students create terrariums using soil, seeds, pebbles, and two liter bottles.  Students compare the elements of a  terrarium to a food web.

Fourth graders perform an experiment to test the function of a stem. In this science lesson, 4th graders write a description of their investigations. Students also explain how the stem interacts with the rest of the plant. Students use...

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They analyze two homes identifying types and locations of trees, and location of the central air conditioners. The benefits of shade, the process of...

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They study two homes and identify types and locations of trees and determine the placement of the central air conditioners. The class plans a landscape design...

Students explore genetic engineering and it biological and ethical implications. By conducting experiments with genetically engineered corn and plain corn they determine the difference in taste. Students also discover the effects of...

Students draw a tree with acorns. They depict roots and an acorn in the soil to review plant growth and practice handwriting letter A or letter N in the writing lines. They cut an additional page for the mini-book to include the word...

Learners create a desert biome and a prairie biome and see how plants survive in both. In this biomes lesson plan, studnets create their biomes and see how the water cycle effect each biome and plant differently. 

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

Really only five slides of information, this resource is an outline on planting field crops. From it, aspiring agriculturists are exposed to different seeding methods: drilling, row crop planting, broadcast seeding, and air seeding. This...

Young scholars identify the main parts of a seed. In this biology activity, students explain the factors needed for the seed to grow. They record observations everyday and report findings to class.

Students draw and label the four parts of a plant. They describe changes that are part of the common life cycle. Students follow various one and two step directions. They are asked to discuss that they can recall about plants.

In this earth science worksheet, students identify plant characteristics and use them to respond to two questions. They name four things plants need to grow and then, draw a picture of what a plant might look like if it does not get the...

Explore the mountain habitat with this collection of slides. The climate is described, along with the associated plant and animal life. Some of the pictures are attractive, but some leave much to be desired. There is a generous amount of...

Learners determine what the phrase "stewards of the earth" means and evaluate the responsibilities that term entails. They assess whether or not applications of technology and science are consistent with our role as stewards of the earth...

Students explore the life cycle of living things through the eight lessons of this unit. The butterfly, frog, chicken, and plant are inspected and form the basis of the work done in this unit.

For this plants worksheet, students complete a word search, finding a set of 14 words related to plants. Word search appears in the shape of a flower.
