First graders learn all about seeds.  In this biology lesson, 1st graders discover: what a fruit is, what is inside of seeds, and how seeds are transported.

Learners explore seed dispersal by designing their own wind dispersed seed structure. Using one piece of paper and a box fan, they construct a seed dispersal structure, record the distance their seed travels, and answer discussion...

Seeds in flight are amazing things. Hand out a great information sheet for learners to read. They'll discover facts about seeds, why they spread, and examples of how different seeds get from here to there. 

Though it's designed to guide a field trip to the New York Botanical Garden, you could take resource like this one to a local park, wilderness area, school garden, or even a weedy empty lot. Middle schoolers identify plant parts and...

Students construct a defined plot on school grounds and observed patterns in plant life. They count trees, shrubs, cacti and record on a data sheet. They compare data and generate a plant diversity overlook for their school.

Students examine different plants and discover how they can be sources of healthy food choices. They identify tips on how they can eat more fruits and vegetables during the day. They also prepare a recipe.

Call this just a template for a presentation on plant life, not life cycles as the title implies. Content does compare the lengths of different life cycles and describes required conditions for germination, but it also explores cellular...

In this science quiz worksheet, students match words or phrases to their definition. Students explore topics dealing with parts of a seeds, traits of plants, and uses of seed plants. Students solve 12 multiple choice problems.

Students create a seed museum. In this early childhood lesson plan, students identify various seeds and the plants the seeds will grow into. Students write a description of the plant, illustrate the plant and create a seed museum in...

In this seed dispersal by animals worksheet, students read for information and complete comprehension activities. In this short answer worksheet, students answer nine questions.

Third graders identify what plants need to grow. In this agricultural instructional activity, 3rd graders read the book The Empty Pot and discuss the steps to take when planting a seed. Students plant a seed and water it each day....

Student learns about the life cycle of plants by watching a time-lapse video. This activity provides students with further evidence that all living things grow and change as they progress through their life cycle. Student conducts a...

Students study the types and parts of seeds and how they have evolved.  In this germination lesson students complete experiments that show the effects of variables role in seed germination. 

In this nature activity, students observe 6 different fruits. Students cut each fruit in half and study the seeds inside. Students record their observations and practice writing the fruit names.

Students describe sexual reproduction in plants, including the process of pollination, how insects assist in pollination, and how pollination differs from fertilization. They also explore the importance of honey bees to Arizona agriculture.

One of the reasons plants found success on land relates to seed development. Scholars learn about many different forms of seeds and how they changed over time. It describes the structure and function of many different types of seeds in...

Young scholars examine seeds from various plants. In this science lesson plan, students cut open fruits and vegetables in order to see the seeds. Young scholars describe each type of seed and classify the seeds.

How do seeds get from a plant to the ground so they can germinate? This presentation provides the answer to seed dispersal in relation to plant reproduction. Straightforward explanations and definitions for wind, animal, burial, fruit,...

The world would be a much different place without the help of pollinators. Read about the important role bats, hummingbirds, and various insects play in plant reproduction, exploring the interdependence of living things in an ecosystem....

First-time florists will be able to label the structures of simple and composite flowers after reading this handout and answering the comprehension questions. There are a couple of grammatical errors in the text, but the content is...

Students examine plants and pollinators. In this plant biology instructional activity, students read The Power of Pollinators and identify the parts of the plant and the pollinators. Students design their own imaginary plants.

Learners study seeds and plants. For this science lesson, students explore seeds from various types of plants and complete a worksheet about seeds. Learners discuss plants that are fruits and vegetables and where they grow.

Learners describe flowering plants and see why angiosperms are the most successful plants.  In this angiosperms lesson plan students identify angiosperms and explain how they reproduce.
