Science: Seeds to Plants

Seeds come in many colors, shapes, and sizes—and that variety makes for a great necklace! Young learners collect a variety of seeds during their search in a nature area. An adult then prepares the seeds to better thread them onto a cord,...

What better way to learn about plant life than by creating a class garden? Young botanists start with a brief discussion about radishes before planting seeds and watching them grow. To determine the importance of water, sunlight, and...

Students experiment with germination. In this germination lesson, students investigate what is required for seeds to germinate. Students hypothesize about the requirements and set up an experiment to determine the results.

What is most necessary for seeds to grow into a plant? Watch a video that describes and models how a seed can become a plant with the help of two basic components.

Do you want to grow your own plant? No worries, find out how to plant, feed, and tend to your flower in a video all about plant growth. You can even observe, measure, and draw your plant in a daily science notebook.

After listening to From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons, learners take a walk around their school looking for plants. They use digital cameras to photograph the plants, then construct a class book which has the identities of the plants,...

Young scientists use food coloring and celery stalks to determine how water travels through plants. 

Students read and dramatize the stories "The Tiny Seed" and "The Carrot Seed" as an introduction to seeds and what they become. They work in small groups to plant their own seeds and over the span of a week (+ or -)students keep track of...

Young scientists explore nature's water treatment plants in this simple science demonstration. By placing a stalk of celery in a cup of water mixed with food coloring, children are able to observe how plants absorb nutrients and...
