A good description of the growth and changes in plants from the seed through the adult plant. College level discussion that includes the chemicals involved in the regulation of plant growth.

This experiment tests the effect of high salt soil concentrations on plant growth.

Take an interactive quiz over plant parts and plant development. After completing the quiz, check your score, and then revisit any incorrect question for further review.

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

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses meristem and its role in plant growth.

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.

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...

This lesson plan 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...

Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. During exposure of the plants to these different conditions, students measure...

Lesson focuses on the Plants in Space experiment which studied how plant roots developed in a weightless environment. Students will conduct three scientific investigations to learn how light, gravity and microgravity affect the growth of...

Like humans, plants can be negatively affected by overcrowding. Unlike humans, plants cannot get up and move to a new environment or explore how to utilize new resources. This experiment will explore the effects of crowding (population...

A very simple introduction to the various types of growth and reproductive styles of common plants.

Second graders will plant seeds and chart their 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...

Discusses the basic needs of plants and the stages they go through in developing from a seed.

Take this interactive, multiple-choice quiz over plant development, then review your score and any missed questions at the end.

Inspector LePlant and his friends look at the world of plants in this site for younger students. Features include the parts of plants and the seven basic requirements that plants need to survive as well as a short quiz.

After planting three flower seeds (same variety), students will observe changes and note details about how they grow by keeping a log book to record these changes over a period of 8-10 weeks.

This set of lessons has students investigate how plants obtain energy from different sources to support their growth and development. Students conduct investigations, make predictions, and construct scientific explanations of the...

Don't get lost in the woods. In this plant biology science fair project, students will investigate whether the location of moss growth on trees is a good way to determine cardinal direction. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up...

Learn about plant and animal life cycles through this 5E structured module.

The students will be collecting, germinating and planting seeds to show the process of plant growth. The students will be recording the information in their science journal. In addition, the students will be observing the water cycle as...
