Students observe biology by completing a plant experiment in class. In this botany lesson, students discuss the anatomy related to a plant and how roots and stems are necessary to its survival. Students utilize food coloring and examine...

Young biologists identify the basic structures of a saguaro cactus. They study the functions of each of the structures, and label them on a picture of a saguaro cactus embedded in the plan. This simple, and easy-to-implement...

Every good lesson on plant life should have a good activity to go along with it. Here is a very nice activity that requires students to label the four main parts of a plant. Included is a second activity that shows three different modes...

Students explore the three main organismal divisions. Students classify organisms by invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. They observe the differences and similarities between these groups.

Students watch a video on the parts of plants and their uses. They then observe a live plant and on a worksheet label the four main parts of the flower (flower, leaves, rooms, and stem).

Students view picture of weed and identify roots, stems, flowers, leaves, and seeds, describe function of each different weed part, and discuss how different parts of weed work together to benefit plant in its new environment.

Students investigate living organisms and define the properties of a living species.  In this life characteristic activity, students examine plants in their class and discuss whether or not they are alive.  Students create a...

A lot of people think of insects as pests. But actually, some insects are beneficial because they get rid of pests! After learning about beneficial insects, class members research given insects to find out if they are pests or predators.
