After a reading of Lois Ehlert's Planting a Rainbow, class members plan a rainbow garden, research growing cycles of the fruits and vegetables in their section, and then plant and maintain the garden.

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...

Mia video chats with Sam from Hawaii! They talk about plant adaptations that allow them to live in particular environments. Examples include the flexible stems and leaves, or floating seeds and flowers of aquatic plants. The adaptive...

In this science experiment worksheet, learners record a check next to the 10 plants that they plan on growing in containers. Students place their containers in full sunlight.

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 discover the general life cycle of a plant, the parts of a plant, and what it needs to grow. They plant bean seeds and discuss the parts of a plant and what it needs to grow.

First graders chart the growth and development of seeds. In this seed growth lesson, 1st graders observe seeds as they mature through the growing process.

Students learn the various parts of a farm and what is grown on a farm. They also match fruits and vegetables to locations where they are grown.

First graders grow seeds in a mini terrarium. They compare the root systems, stems, leaves, and flowers of the different plants. They categorize the plants and discuss the basic functions of plant parts.

Second graders investigate the agricultural process of rice farming by creating a rice stationary item.  In this farming instructional activity, 2nd graders read about rice plants and the techniques used to harvest the edible plant....

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 participate in hands-on acticities to understand how native plants and animals arrived on Hawaii from long distances without the assistance of man. They then identify what characterizes a plant or animal as native vs. non-native.

In this plants worksheet, students watch movies about plant growth and then answer multiple choice and short answer questions about them. Students answer 6 questions total.

Students observe the first true leaves and the buds on their Brassica plants and record their observations in both words and pictures. They also observe two major developments: the true leaves and the flower buds and record their...

In this plant parts worksheet, learners assess their understanding of plants and plant parts. Students answer question about vocabulary, vegetables with seeds, and measuring plant parts.

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...

Seventh graders investigate how organisms respond to environmental stimuli through their behavior. They observe how plants and animals respond to varying amounts of light, water and gravity.

Students identify plants parts and their functions.  In this plant cycle lesson, students examine parts of plants and how the parts help them survive in its environment. Students use graphic organizers, the internet, books and...

Students are introduced to the concept of photosynthesis. As a class, they brainstorm a list of what they already know about plants and individually grow a plant on their own in the classroom. They record their observations daily and...

First graders, with a collection of various art supplies, plant a seed to observe it growing and record specific data on a data record sheet. They create a collage from various magazines of ten different foods farm animals eat and make a...

Students observe and measure seed germination. In this life science instructional activity, students use 'tanks' to observe a set of seeds as they germinate and begin growing, make predictions, and record their data. Lesson includes...

Students grow flowers from seeds. They plant quick-growing seeds in a flower pot and consider what a seed needs to grow. They observe and record the growth of the planted seeds in science journals.

Students plant seeds in milk cartons, over the next two weeks, they watch the plants closely to see how they grow and change. They keep a photo journal to record the growth of the plant.

In this dicot and monocot seeds worksheet, students read the difference between the two types of seeds and draw a picture, make a poster, and use the internet to find more research on them. Students complete 3 tasks.
