Students identify the different parts of a plant. In this biology lesson, students examine its internal parts by dissecting it. They report their findings in class.

Students discover seeds are a source of life. They also label the parts of a seed and examine the conditions which are needed for the seed to start growing. They follow the life cycle of seeds.

Students plant seeds and observe the life cycle of the organism. They experimentally research the effects of radiation on seed growth. Students determine the effects of environmental pollutants on harvested seed.

Students identify the basic steps a gardener takes in planting seeds. Students identify the many uses of tomatoes. Students examine the seeds and try to identify them. Students place their plants in a sunny window and water them when...

Young scholars plant sprout seeds and make observations. For this lesson about planting, students make observations, predictions, and record information. Young scholars analyze how the sprout plants grow and determine if any of the four...

Students research the effects of invasive and exotic plants. They create posters, webpages and books to educate the community. They present their material in different forums.

Students investigate the basic conceptual structures of plants, with the focus being the parts that contain seeds. They comprehend that organisms that have fruit for the holding of seeds for replication of the species. The students work...

In this plants worksheet, students complete a word search, finding a set of 14 words related to plants. Word search appears in the shape of a flower.

Students role-play how animals and plants depend on and help each other in symbiotic relationships. Working in pairs, they role-play the animals' relationship. They may also choose to draw pictures of these partnerships.

In this genetics worksheet, students use a diagram showing the genetic offspring of plants with different types of seeds to answer 4 short answer questions. Then students determine the traits of offspring of different crosses in 1...

In germination experiment worksheet, students conduct the following lab activity. Students determine the effects of another tomato on germinating seeds. Students answer the following questions to analyze their experiment.

Young scholars investigate how plants grow in different biomes. In this biomes lesson plan, students plant sees of impatiens, lima beans and rye seeds in egg cartons. When the plants begin to grow they simulate the assigned biome...

Beans, or legumes as they are sometimes called, are the topic for an integrated multi-subject lesson. Youngsters will read, write, observe, and research everything there is to know about beans. They read a bean story, conduct a bean...

Fifth graders investigate how a pond ecosystem can change into a prairie or grassland ecosystem. They observe a small pond ecosystem in a two liter soda bottle, and examine and record changes over a two-week period of time on a worksheet.

In this pollination worksheet, students read and assess comprehension. In this labeling and filling in the blanks worksheet, students answer fourteen questions.

Students gain skill in the design, implementation, and reporting of a scientific research project using the scientific method. They set up an experiment to determine the effect of adding the Rhizobium bacteria to one group of legume...

Student will track the growth of his/her bean sprout with sunlight and without sunlight over the course of 3 weeks. They will enter the results into an excel data base then graph the results of both variables to make the comparison.

Students analyze the telling of a story with props. They study similarities and differences between ducks, geese and swans, how wildfowl are adapted to life in water, how wildfowl move and feed, and wildfowl family life, how they nest,...

Eighth graders explore how different organisms pass their traits to their offspring. In this life science lesson, 8th graders differentiate recessive and dominant alleles. They predict the phenotype based on the genotype of an organism.

Fourth graders role play as certified horticulturists as they study the biology of plants and gardening. They design a garden for their school based on what they researched and a given budget.
