Experiments provide information related to the importance of light and gravity on plant growth and development.

Find out about the career of plant scientist from this Science Buddies career profile. If you are interested in biology, this specialization in soil and plant science might be for you. Read about the qualifications and education...

This lesson allows students to explore horticulture within a controlled environment, a greenhouse. Students engage in hands-on activities as they grow their own plants and chart data concerning the conditions related to plant growth in a...

Help Detective Le Plant discover how a seed grows into a plant. Students will learn to describe a seed's structure and what's needed for seed growth.

Help Detective Le Plant dig for clues in the soil to solve this case. You'll need to find out what soil is, why it is important, and in what kinds of soil plants grow.

In this experiment, students investigate how changes in salinity, temperature, and water availability affect the growth of plants.

The Iowa State University provides a good description of the development of an important crop plant. The overview compares favorably with the development of any plant.

In this biology lab, students investigate structures and functions of local plants. Students will include a detailed drawing of their particular plant with labels and include functions of each of the plant structures.

A plant biology science fair project exploring how various levels of light affect plant growth. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

Plants grow and change on a time scale that is too slow for us to observe in real time. Time-lapse photography is a simple technique that allows us to see the movements of plants and clearly demonstrates that plants are living and...

Plants need air, water, soil, and light to grow. Students learn about plant growth and development by conducting an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

A lab experiment where students study what living things need to survive. Students will observe plant growth over several weeks.

Understand how the components of soil effect plant growth.

Make soil using local materials and compare plant growth in natural and student-made soil.

In groups, have students research and present plants that are on their plate. These plants can be a combination of all of their cultures or students can pick one culture to research and present on. Students will need to classify that...

Review the main vocabulary and processes in plant tissues and organs.

In this lesson, learners investigate what effect changing the direction of gravity will have on the growth of a plant's roots. Includes detailed instructions, videos, background articles, etc.
