Students recognize and name the main parts of a flower. In this life science lesson, the teacher leads a discussion about the parts of a plant, then students color and cut out the parts of a planet, then glue the parts together...

Students explore parts of the flower. In this plant biology lesson, students dissect flowers and identify how the seeds are formed. Students take a nature walk to pick flowers for future dissections.

First graders ponder the question of how plants help their lives. They observe and compare properties of several different plants. Differentiate between living organisms and nonliving objects.

In this life science worksheet, 3rd graders answer multiple choice questions about plants, birds, habitats, and more. Students complete 20 questions.

Students compare common food items with the parts of a plant. They grow their own plants to assess the difficulties in assisting a plant's growth and reproduction.

Students create flip books that illustrate the growth and change of a plant or an animal as it goes through its life cycle.
