First graders measure a plant using unifix cubes and record their measurements on a class chart.

First graders investigate plant growth and examine what factors contribute to plant growth. They keep a class chart of plant growth and write about and illustrate their conclusions.

Students read an article about Winter Solstice celebrations. They consider the symbolism of evergreens in winter and how different cultures have used evergreens in winter celebrations throughout history.

Students explore how seeds grow. They design an experiment and predict its outcome.

Students identify and analyze pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of flowering plants. They also identify the process of plant pollination and how bees play an important part in the life cycle of flowering...

Middle schoolers measure and record their height in centimeters on a graph. By integrating math and science, students collect data and apply graphing skills to the experiences they are having growing plants. Finally, middle schoolers...

In this 4-H garden project worksheet set, student study the parts of seeds and plants. They make a mini-greenhouse. They complete a career scavenger hunt, tools word search, and experiment to learn more about the effect of water on seed...

Students identify parts of prairie plants. They sketch the plants indicating its adaptive parts and write brief descriptions of them. They present their findings to the class.

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...

Fourth graders explore the pollination process. For this plant biology lesson, 4th graders dissect a flower to identify the parts of a flower and watch a video to see seed dispersal. Students write about the pollination process.

Students explore grazing animals in a dry forest. In this science activity, students act out the role of a grazer in the dry forest. Students cut their growing lawn and observe what happens after being cut. Students explore differences...

In this fractions worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 2 different types of problems related to science and fractions. First, they determine which fraction the whole part shaded and patterned is represented in each picture. Then,...

Young scholars examine the adaptation of plants to their environments. They analyze and observe the structure, shape, and internal structure of various leaves, and make inferences about the structures.

Students study plant and animal interdependence by studying bees and pollination. In this interdependence lesson, students discuss flower parts and dissect it to show its reproductive parts. Students then use tissue and pipe cleaners to...

Second graders examine how food chains interact with different plants and animals. They practice using new vocabulary. They also discover the role of pesticides in the environment.

High schoolers examine the hydrologic impacts of drought. They look at drought from a variety of prespectives. Students first focus on the scientific definition of drought, including weather patterns, water cycles, water requirements by...

Learners consider the concept that plants and animals are dependent on one another and role-play the interaction between bees and flowers. They identify crops that are dependent on pollination by bees.

students identify questions about trees and plants to include their importance, parts, and systems. They list the things they know, want to know, and how they are going to study it.

Students investigate how to use the senses to gather information about objects such as size, shape, color, texture, sound, position, and change (qualitative observations are utilized throughout this lesson). They investigate and explain...

Students research phytoplankton and zooplankton. In this food chain lesson, students read This is the Sea That Feeds Us and discuss plankton, food chains, and webs. Students define phytoplankton and compare them to land plants....

Students, in this project, successfully start new plants by various means of vegetative propagation.

Students observe how the bean seed has changed after being soaked in water overnight and record their observations. They open the bean and observe the inside. Finally, students draw and label the parts of a bean seed and write the...

Students apply skills they have learned to construct an accurate model of the Brassica and then work together on a group project. They analyze how the parts of a system go together, and how these parts depend on each other. Finally,...

Fourth graders are introduced to the concept of ecosystem; specifically, the interrelationships among plants and animals within an ecosystem, and their relationships to the environment in which they live and interact.
