Here is a fabulous, cross-curicular lesson on seeds. Elements of science, writing, math, agricultural practices, and art are all brought into this incredibly thorough plan. Additionally, a fun whole-class game is presented, and there is...

Students investigate seeds, flowers and germinating seeds. In this germination lesson plan, students observe a stalk of corn, a corn seed, Gladiolas and glass jars containing germinating sees and plants. Students answer 8 questions...

Fifth graders generate two types of corn seeds, Dent corn and Indian corn to compare the similarities and differences of each of the seedlings. The preferred seedlings are determined through observations made by Students.

First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson plan, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.

Students explore the corn crop. In this farming instructional activity, students identify which states are in the corn belt and read about the history of corn, its uses and its development and growth. Students dissect a corn kernel....

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

Students investigate the growth of seeds. In this agricultural lesson, students dissect a bean and corn seed and identify the parts of the seed. Students observe the development of a pinto bean seed and record observations on the...

Written to examine seeds that grow in Kansas, you can adapt this lesson to anywhere you live. Learners sort a mixture of five different seeds to by any characteristic of their choice. When your budding scientists are exploring the life...

Learners investigate relationships between plants and animals and how living things change during their lives. In this life cycle instructional activity, students split different types of seeds apart to see the beginning life stages of...

Second graders are given a group of seeds and put in small groups. They classify their seeds based on their observations with 90% accuracy. Students draw a picture of each seed showing at least 2 characteristics of each. They write 1...

Second graders explore botany by viewing video clips in class. In this seed growth instructional activity, 2nd graders identify the types of seeds that grow specific plants and what the optimal conditions are for growing seeds. Students...

Fifth graders explore heredity and observable traits through experimentation. They view several different types of corn and record their observation of physical traits on a class chart. They create a corn necklace by sprouting dried...

Students explore plant life by creating their own gardens in class. In this food growing lesson, students discuss the types of gardening methods Native Americans used in order to keep healthy. Students plant corn seeds in their school...

Young scholars experiment with seeds and germination. In this natural science lesson, students discuss the stages of germination. Young scholars engage in a 4 part hands on science activity to view the process of germination.

Students 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 germination...

Students will research the origin of corn, analyze factors that contribute to shorter and longer growing seasons, and use the scientific method to answer the question: Did seed selection contribute to the successful movement of corn from...

Students observe the characteristics of different seed types. They classify, sort, name and write about the seeds.

Students germinate seeds in unflavored gelatin to which liquid house plant food has been added. Students observe and record plant growth in this medium with a variety of variables in a number of experiments.

First graders grow seeds in a mini terrarium. They compare the root systems, stems, leaves, and flowers of the different plants. They categorize the plants and discuss the basic functions of plant parts.

Sixth graders complete an experiment to learn about hereditary traits. In this hereditary traits lesson, 6th graders discuss similarities and differences in corn and complete charts for their discussion. Students then use a dent corn and...

Young scholars germinate seeds under a variety of conditions. First, students read and discuss the background of gardening. After reviewing germination and the steps to the scientific method, groups of young scholars complete experiments.

Learners compare shipping peanuts made from corn and made from Styrofoam. In this corn based peanuts lesson, students understand why to use eco-friendly materials for packing. Learners participate in an experiment to compare the...

Students use laboratory equipment safely. They identify structures in a seed. They distinguish between monocots and dicots. They search for information using the computer.

First graders explore U.S. geography by researching food production. In this agriculture instructional activity, 1st graders identify the process of crops from a seed to a plate and discuss the importance of farmers in the production of...
