Seeds & Germination
Young scholars 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.
Curated OER
Sock Walk (Seed Dispersal)
Learners collect seeds from field plants as part of understanding seed dispersal.
Curated OER
Let's Get Carried Away
Students discover how seeds travel from their parent plants in search of water, sunlight, and nutrients, and conduct experiments in which they note characteristics that encourage seed dispersal by means of wind, water, animal carriers,...
Curated OER
The "Seedier" Side of Plants
Students demonstrate seed dispersal vectors through role-play, analyze seed types, identify plant parts, list seven conditions plants need in order to grow, and describe how seeds travel.
Curated OER
Adaptations of plants for seed dispersal
In this plants worksheet, students place plants in various categories depending on what special adaptations they have for scattering their seeds. There is room to record 5 different plants. They then describe how 5 fruits have adapted...
Curated OER
Designer Seeds
Learners enjoy the challenge of the seed structure design component of this activity and become very competitive as they seek to create a seed that travel farthest.
Curated OER
How Do Seeds Travel?
This fascinating science worksheet has students determine how seeds travel. They see that seeds travel through the environment as "floaters," "fliers," and "hitchhikers." Students collect seeds, and tape them to a chart embedded in the...
Curated OER
Super Seeds Super Grains
Students explore the life cycle of plants. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the two ways that seeds germinate. Students dissect seeds and record data. Resources are provided in French and English.
Curated OER
Seed Detectives
Students examine seed coats. In this biology lesson plan, students look at pictures of magnified seed coats, then use hand-help magnifiers or microscopes to look at seed coats on their own.

Succession: Patterns in the Field and in Seeds
Have you been wondering how to use that natural trail at or near your school? This activity gets kids outside with a purpose: learn about ecological succession through field observations and collecting seed and soil samples. The resource...
ARKive
Plants
Here is a one-hour activity that helps learners remember the parts of plants. Not only will the class learn about plant parts, they'll also discuss seed dispersal and plant growth. A celery experiment is used to show how plants obtain...
ARKive
Parts of the Plant
Every good lesson on plant life should have a good worksheet to go along with it. Here is a very nice worksheet that requires students to label the four main parts of a plant. Included is a second worksheet that shows three different...
Curated OER
Life cycles
Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...
Curated OER
Pollination of Flowers by Moths
Turn your classroom into a pollination station as your kids transform into moths or predators trying to survive and aiding in plant reproduction along the way. Using silent party blowers as proboscises, the moths will have two minutes to...
Curated OER
Scientific Method
Students explore the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson, students use information gathered from a "Seed Dispersal" lab done previously to complete a worksheet listing the steps of the scientific method.
University of Wisconsin
A Rain Garden Year
Pupils become plants in an interpretive play that depicts what happens throughout the seasons in a rain garden. As you narrate, students bloom, flower, and go to seed accordingly. The lesson is first in a series of lessons written for...
K12 Reader
What’s Eating You?
Introduce your class to producers, consumers, and pollinators with a reading passage. Class members read the text and respond to five related questions.
Channel Islands Film
Island Rotation: Lesson Plan 4
Foster's Rule? Allopatric speciation? After watching West of the West's documentary Island Rotation, class members use Venn diagrams to compare endemic species on the Channel Islands with mainland related species. They then create a...
Curated OER
Vegetable Olympics Shot Put
Students explore the distribution of plant seeds. In this science lesson, students discuss plants that explode in order to spread their seeds. Students create pea shooters and use dried peas to see how far they will travel.
Curated OER
Wind Distribution of Weed Seeds
Students investigate how many seasons it would take for wind to disperse seeds one mile downwind from an initial growth of one spotted knapweed plant. They construct and use a wind tunnel as part of their experiment and graph their results.
Curated OER
Blowing In the Wind
In this wind dispersal activity, students read for information and comprehension. In this short answer and drawing activity, students answer six questions.
Curated OER
Recording Trees and Shrubs
In this trees and shrubs worksheet, students draw 7 trees or shrubs and then record the following 6 features about each one: leaf shape, flower color, twig, height, seed dispersal and name of the tree or shrub.
Curated OER
Pollination
Fourth graders explore the pollination process. In 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.
Curated OER
Life Cycles
Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants. In this online plant biology lesson, students explore the processes of pollination, seed dispersal, and germination. Extension...
