First graders observe the effects of varying amounts of water, sun, and air on lima bean plants. They also predict and describe their outcomes in a written report.

Students investigate the stages of plant life. Students create a K-W-L chart. They describe six main stages of the plant life cycles. Using stickers, students create a life cycle flow map.

Second graders investigate the best conditions for growing plants while considering how math, science, and technology are interrelated in this study. They partner with an upper grade through the use of the Internet and conduct a...

Students examine the life cycle of plants. For this plants lesson, students identify the various stages of plants and their parts. Students compare the life cycle of a plant with that of an animal. Activities suggested can be modified...

Students build plant growing structures. In this plant growth lesson, students plant growth structures such as a garden tepee or a crawl through tunnel. They grow plants that are appropriate for the structure.

Fifth graders conduct experiments involving plants. In this science lesson plan, 5th graders design an experiment involving plants. Students use the scientific method to design their experiments.

Learners discover why soybeans are called the "miracle seeds." They make their own soynuts and share other foods made from soybeans. They create a bulletin board of soybean products.

students recognize and name prairie plants without the use of a key. they determine that prairie plants have different life cycles that affect their rate of growth and reproduction

Youngsters use a paper bee to pollinate two paper flowers. They use hole-punch dots as pollen. Older learners dissect flowers and name the structures involved in pollination. The handouts mentioned in the lesson plan are not included, so...

Students conduct an experiment to determine how the absence of a root cap affects a plant's ability to sense gravity. They make comparisons between capped and decapped roots.

Eighth graders research and write reports on key figures of the Antebellum Period. The projects also include pictures, bibliographies, and timelines about their assigned figure. In addition, 8th graders present oral reports to classmates.

Students explore the differences between plants with seeds and seedless.  In this fruits and vegetables lesson students examine some vegetables and nuts that are really fruits.
