Students investigate reading, cooking, and planting activities that teach that a carrot is the root of a plant. In this early childhood science lesson plan, students explore the world around them as they read The Carrot Seed and complete...

First graders sequence the development of a plant. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders listen to a story about how a plant grows, students view a PowerPoint presentation and learn new vocabulary. Finally, students sequence the stages...

Students grow flowers from seeds. They plant quick-growing seeds in a flower pot and consider what a seed needs to grow. They observe and record the growth of the planted seeds in science journals.

Students read about various modes of transportation for people, plants, and animals. In this transportation lesson, students read information about the transportation modes for people plants, and animals using water and land. Students...

Students study the concepts of seed dispersal, germination rate, exponential population growth, and predation by engaging in a bean 'weeds vs. natives' relay race. They illustrate how weeds out-compete other plants for space by crowding...

Second graders read several books and complete an activity that coincides with each book. i.e. They read 'Berenstain Bears: Grow It' by Stan and Jan Berenstain and then decorate a flower pot, plant flower seeds in it and record their...

Students complete a germination activity to explore plants. In this plant science lesson, students create a neck pet that contains germinated seed to learn about the needs of plants. Students grow the seed inside their plant pet necklace.

Pupils investigate the growth of seedlings planted in egg cartons in the classroom. Measurements are taken as the plants grow and charts created to organize the data.

Students explore the parts of a flower and pollination of flowers. In this plants instructional activity, students use an interactive whiteboard to label the parts of a plant and the functions of each part. Students complete a worksheet...

For this plant parts worksheet, students use provided links to compete questions about plant and their parts. Suggestions and links for additional resources are given.

First graders investigate the origins of vegetables. In this Science lesson, 1st graders identify where fruits and vegetables come from. Students describe how people utilize plants.

Students examine how a seed grows, and design an experiment to explore this concept. They make predictions, conduct the experiment, record the results, and interpret the results.

Students explore the environment by researching plant reproduction. In this pollination lesson, students define botany related vocabulary terms such as disc flower, petal and fertilization. Students dissect a flower with their classmates...

Students create their own garden. In this plant growth lesson, students sprinkle a damp sponge with birdseeds. Students place the sponge in the sun and watch the seeds sprout.

A hands-on activity which allows students to learn about cellular respiration. This lesson contains a range of investigations testing the rates of cellular respiration to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic rates of...

Young scholars investigate how water travels up the stem of vascular plants by using food coloring to stain the xylem of a number of different plants. They know the function of leaves, stems, and root at the end of the experiment.

Students investigate the process of growing food. In this agricultural lesson, students invite a farmer into their classroom to discuss how they grow and process food. Students participate in learning centers which focus on farming.

Students study the life cycle of plants by growing a seed in a paper cup. They record observations of the changes they see. When the plant sprouts, they plant it in soil in a paper cup. Next, they continue to draw and date their...

Fourth graders explore the requirements a cocoa plant needs to survive. They research where chocolate comes from and how humans can affect the growth of cocoa trees. Students create a 3-D model of a cocoa tree and compare and contrast...

Primary graders repurpose items brought from home to create containers for plants. After poking holes in their containers, kids add soil and plant seeds or transplant an item, and then observe and draw conclusions about which items...

Students harvest and thresh the seeds. They count the seeds and compare that number with the original number of seeds planted (8) to determine their profit or loss. Finally, students think about additional questions they have about...

Students plant seeds and watch their plants grow in the classroom while learning about the process.

Students plant their seeds and collect and organize their own materials for planting. They also set up their planters with wicks, fertilizer, potting mix, and seeds. Finally, students write their names on planter markers with a ball...

First graders, after brainstorming all the ways seeds are scattered and viewing a multitude of examples of seeds, explore how seeds travel by taking a walk outdoors wearing socks over their shoes. In addition, they assess how seeds...
