From Seed to Plant

Students participate in an activity in which they investigate the scientific method and seed germination as well as practice graphing and metric measuring skills. Students examine toxicity by exposing Wisconsin Fast Plants seeds to toxic...

Young scholars observe and measure seed germination. In this life science lesson, students use 'tanks' to observe a set of seeds as they germinate and begin growing, make predictions, and record their data. Lesson includes background...

Students explore seed germination. In this life science lesson plan, students start seeds in Petri dishes, then observe which ones germinate and make predictions.

Students create an indoor container garden. In this container garden lesson, students explore seed germination. Students discuss edible seeds.

Students examine how seeds germinate in a culture.  In this germination activity students germinate seeds in gelatin and observe the growth of the plant.

Plants have evolved many clever mechanisms to ensure that their seeds will wait for appropriate conditions before sprouting. Some may only germinate after a fire, others only after going through a cold spell. This project explores one...

Movies showing how corn, sunflower, and arabidopsis seeds germinate.

Young botanists dig into a lesson that has them planting lima bean seeds and observing their growth. They compare their experience to that of the speaker in Robert Frost's poem, "Putting in the Seed."

How are prairie plants able to survive fires? This site will explain how seed germination takes place after a prairie fire.

Young scholars use the various steps of the scientific method to construct and carry out a detailed laboratory investigation (including a control). They demonstrate how various environmental factors may affect the process of seed...
