Students explore the four different ways that seeds travel. They separate students into different groups and they act out how seeds travel. The groups act out their different scenarios in front of the class.

Learners describe flowering plants and see why angiosperms are the most successful plants.  In this angiosperms lesson plan students identify angiosperms and explain how they reproduce. 

First graders create their own garden. In this plant lesson, 1st graders discover the essential elements for a plant to grow. They planted their own garden and read the amount of space needed and the sunlight preferred for each plant. 

First graders explore biology by viewing PowerPoint presentations in class. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders identify the life cycle of a plant and how to properly plant a seed outside. Students view a movie about plant life and...

Sixth graders investigate the parts of a seed by using a digital camera.  In this botany lesson, 6th graders plant their own seeds in class and demonstrate the necessary attributes for growing a plant.  Students utilize a...

In this growing tomatoes worksheet, students plant tomato seeds in February, and follow their growth through the summer break. They observe and investigate the plant growth from seed to plant.

Students grow plants and track their growth over time. In this growing plants lesson, students plant seedlings and chart their growth in a data analysis activity.

Third graders examine a reading selection. For this fairy tale lesson, 3rd graders read Jack and the Beanstalk. Students are divided into groups and each group lists the elements of a fairy tale and writes a script for a puppet play of...

Second graders explore botany by viewing video clips in class. In this seed growth lesson, 2nd graders identify the types of seeds that grow specific plants and what the optimal conditions are for growing seeds. Students view a video...

Students examine seed coats. In this biology instructional activity, students look at pictures of magnified seed coats, then use hand-help magnifiers or microscopes to look at seed coats on their own.

Become a member of the Pollution Patrol and stand up to litter! After discussing the life cycle of seeds and discussing how plants figure into the food chain, young conservationists engage in several activities involving podcasts,...

Third graders transplant, tend and observe a plant for each letter of the alphabet in a school garden. They work individually to research and select a plant that will grow in their local climate. Students then care for and observe the...

Students build a pollination garden. In this pollination lesson, students read directions and build a pollinator garden that will produce flowering plants for pollinator organisms to use in pollination of other plants.

Students observe the characteristics of different seed types. They classify, sort, name and write about the seeds.

No one will be saying "Not I" with a lesson that combines The Little Red Hen with the life cycle of a wheat stem! After reading the story in your class, pass out wheat stems to your learners and have them examine the plants closely,...

Here is an activity that will peak your super scientists' interest and knowledge of greenhouse gardening. Green thumbs flourish when they build, prepare, take care of, and observe their seedlings inside a miniature greenhouse. With...

Super scientists tests the toxicity of water using radish seed bioassays. Over the course of five days, scholars observe the germination process of several radish seeds, looking closely at their roots to determine the level of toxins...

Students use the scientific inquiry method to identify the changes in a plant's life cycle. In groups, they plant different types of plants and use a chart to compare and contrast their growth rates. They share their conclusions with...

Young scholars explore plants and the scientific method. In this plant growth lesson, students follow the steps in the scientific method to perform a seed germination experiment as a whole class. Young scholars work in a group to create...

First graders explore plant life. In this plant instructional activity, 1st graders examine various plant life and categorize them. Students graph their data and make journal entries regarding their work.

Students observe the growing stages of plants. In this plant growth activity, students collect, germinate, and plant seeds to chart the growth process of plants.

Students investigate the function and purpose of seed dispersal. In this garden instructional activity, students examine the importance of wind in the plant cycle. Students construct a flying seed model from an attached design and...

Students investigate how to plant a seed. In this gardening lesson, students listen to the book I'm a Seed and research the materials needed to plant a seed. Students present the information they found.

Fifth graders explore genetic traits. In this genetic traits lesson, 5th graders discover how traits are passed from parent to offspring while examining plants. Students problem solve real world applications.
