Germinate Bean Seeds

In this literature and science worksheet, students respond to the book Jack and the Beanstalk by planting their own beanstalk. Students gather the 5 necessary tools and follow the 5 directions for planting a bean seed in a pot.

Learners conduct an experiment in order to understand the term germination.  In this germination instructional activity, students place two soy beans in a bag with a dampened cotton ball.  Learners hang the bags around their necks and...

Students dissect seeds. In this seed dissection lesson, students discover the anatomy of seeds. After dissecting seeds, students hypothesize and design the perfect seed to survive in a dry forest.

After a discussion of the factors that affect seed germination, class groups harvest and preserve seeds from the school garden.

Students explore plant needs. In this science lesson, students plant bean seeds in three different jars. Students make predictions about what will happen to the seeds in each jar and observe what happens in each jar.

Students germinate a Mung Bean seed. In this seed instructional activity students conduct an experiment germinating a Mung Bean. They apply three different treatments to the seeds: dry, moist, and underwater incubation.

Students explore germination. In this science instructional activity, students participate in a variety of activities involving germination. Students observe a bean seed sprouting and record the sequence of a bean sprouting. Students...

In this math/science worksheet, students collaborate as a class to create a bar graph which displays the germination time for bean seeds. Students survey their classmates and plot results on a graph.

In this reproduction of seed plants worksheet, students investigate and design an experiment to test the hypothesis about the chemical signals that steer the growth of pollen tubes toward the ovary.

What a great way to study plants and seeds! Learners complete an experiment involving a seed, and then head to the computer lab to draw a picture of their results. By incorporating educational software, KidPix, this activity becomes a...
