First graders practice identifying plants by singing a song.  In this plant life lesson, 1st graders sing the song "Parts of a Plant" which is based on the anatomy of sunflowers.  Students discover agriculture techniques while...

Young scholars plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. Students measure growth of the seedlings every few days using...

Students explore the process of growing plants from seeds. In this hands-on science experiment, students observe different seeds (store bought vs. those directly from food items) and predict growing patterns.

Pupils keep a garden journal after planting a garden and discuss environmental stresses put upon the garden for growth. In this garden lesson plan, students plant the plants differently from one another and observe the outcomes.

Students examine radish plants and compare how they grew based on how closely the seeds were sown. In this life science activity, students pretend to be growing plants crowded together, then examine how the radishes look based on how...

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students get a bugs-eye view of the flower world and find out how seeds are created, how they travel, and how they grow into plants.

In this plants worksheet, students solve a crossword puzzle. Students have a word bank to use and are given sentences as clues.

Students understand the stages of a plants life. In this stages of plant development lesson, students read about bean plants and grow their own. Students record growth and photograph changes in their plants. Students label the parts of a...

Whether you have your class plant seeds or begin when sprouts are visible, math skills are used here to predict and track growth over time. Straw bar graphs show plant height on a given day while the graph as a whole shows changes over...

Students investigate how a tree grows from a seed. In this plant biology lesson plan, students use potting soil, tree seeds, and a paper cup to observe seeds growing into plants. Students record observations in their science journals.

Learners explore the life cycle of plants. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the two ways that seeds germinate. Learners dissect seeds and record data. Resources are provided in French and English.

Third graders investigate the wonderful and wondrous world of plants. They examine the inside of a seed, explore the different parts of a seed, plant their own seeds, watch them sprout and then eat them! They describe, using their...

Students dissect seeds. In this seed dissection lesson, students discover the anatomy of seeds. After dissecting seeds, students hypothesize and design the perfect seed to survive in a dry forest.

Students explore how seeds travel. In this seed disbursement lesson plan, students head outside in their bare socks. Students walk around then before going inside they take the socks off and examine what their socks picked up. As a class...

Students investigate how seeds are dispersed on land.  In this plant biology lesson plan, students use a dissecting microscope to study strawberry seeds and dandelion seeds, they draw what they see, then create a hypothesis on the...

Students study the life cycle of plants by growing a seed in a paper cup. They record observations of the changes they see. When the plant sprouts, they plant it in soil in a paper cup. Next, they continue to draw and date their...

Students identify what plants need to grow. In this plant biology lesson, students analyze the differences between an artificial plant and a live plant. Students plant seeds and discuss what plants need to grow. Students observe the...

Pupils explore plants and recognize that they are living things that require light and water to grow. For this online plant biology lesson, students identify, name and match the parts of plants. Extension activities and suggested...

Students grow plants and track their growth over time. In this growing plants lesson, students plant seedlings and chart their growth in a data analysis activity.

In this growth of seeds and humans worksheet, 1st graders write things that seeds need and that humans need, then draw a picture of seeds growing.

Seventh graders design four biomes models and plant three types of seeds in them to observe growth. In groups for each type of biome, they predict the seeds' growth in each of the settings. Students follow the conditions on a biome chart...

Students explore plant life by creating their own gardens in class. In this food growing lesson plan, students discuss the types of gardening methods Native Americans used in order to keep healthy. Students plant corn seeds in their...

Observe the differences between the inside and outside of a pumpkin. Learners discuss what pumpkins are used for and then view a pumpkin. Next, they view the inside of the pumpkin and draw the differences they see.

Learners compare seeds with seedlings. In this life science lesson, students make observations of seedlings and the seeds they grew from, paying special attention to the roots. Lesson includes extension activities.
