Breaking the Barrier: How Seeds Sprout

Students investigate how seeds sprout. For this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions on which seeds will grow the fastest and observe the seeds over a period of time. Observations are recorded into a journal.

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 conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. In this seed germination lesson, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. students complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data obtained from...

Students analyze the size, shape, and form of several different seeds. In this all about seeds lesson plan, students complete four activities involving characteristics of seeds. Students observe the seeds, record information about the...

Cameras are amazing tools that enhance the way we see the world. From capturing time-lapse footage of seeds sprouting or seasons changing, to high-speed photography showing a bullet crashing through its target, cameras allow us to see...

Students examine how seasonal changes affect life in a forest ecosystem.  For this ecosystem lesson students complete a lab activity to see how organisms are dependent on each other for nutrition. 

Students study the types and parts of seeds and how they have evolved.  In this germination lesson students complete experiments that show the effects of variables role in seed germination. 

Students grow seeds as they study the life cycle of plants. In this plant life cycle instructional activity, students plant bean seeds in cups using three different variables. They document the growth of the seeds on the associated...

Celebrate fall with four pumpkin themed hands-on activities! After learning about pumpkins, scholars complete two activity sheets that reinforce estimation and word problems. They then plant pumpkin seeds and bake a pie in a bag.   

In this biology worksheet, students read about the parts of plant seeds and look at a seed diagram. They read about the roots, endosperm, embryo, and the process of germination. They answer 8 online multiple choice questions based on the...
