Students grow plants from seeds that can later be placed in outdoor settings. They care for the seeds while they germinate and begin to leaf out.

Learners experiment with enzymes as key components of chemical reactions in all living things through this series of lessons.

Pupils explore the process of growing plants from seed. In this propagation lesson, students examine methods of propagation and determine how to rapidly propagate plant species. Pupils listen to a lecture informing them on the topic and...

Students record their observations about growing a cypress plant and putting salt in the plant. In this cypress plant lesson plan, students observe and record what is happening as the cypress plant grows. This gives directions for...

Students examine several types of plants. In this plant lesson, students complete activities that require them to identify types of plants, chart plant anatomy, and explain plant propagation.

Students observe the effects of gravity on seeds. Students place seeds in various orientations and record their growth to determine how gravity affects the seeds' growth.

In this flowering plants worksheet, students review 11 vocabulary words associated with reproduction in flowering plants by matching the term with its definition.

Students know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.

Students explore Earth science by completing a plant art project. In this botany lesson, students utilize tights and soil to create a furry, grassy puppet style animal from cress seeds. Students cut off the excess cress after several...

High schoolers define several vocabulary terms related to chemicals and toxicology. Students calculate chemical concentrations in water and explain the toxicological principles that govern safety of substances. High schoolers conduct an...

Young scholars view a video about how human actions impact the environment. They design a set of experiments to address some of the problems and issues raised by the video.

Looking at an image of plant systems with their roots in the ground, learners determine which would be the most or least difficult to pull. They write short sentences describing which plant they chose and why. Intended for 3rd or 4th...

Students conduct an experiment using soil, water, seeds, a plant, and a jar; and then draw a poster to represent their observations and findings. They make a poster showing what happened to their aquatic environment.

Students conduct an experiment to observe the response of maize roots when rotated 90 degrees.

Examine the growth regions and tissues in plants.  The structures and specialized areas of roots, stems, and shoots are defined and supported with diagrams and pictures. Your class will also learn the details of specific growth...

Seventh graders examine how the environment can affect biological processes. They identify the best conditions for the germination of bean seeds. They record and analyze their data. They write about their observations in an essay.

Students discover seeds are a source of life. They also label the parts of a seed and examine the conditions which are needed for the seed to start growing. They follow the life cycle of seeds.

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Pupils examine the effects of acid rain on plants. They observe the growth of seeds and the health of different plants for a month. They share their findings with the community.

First graders observe the effects of varying amounts of water, sun, and air on lima bean plants. They also predict and describe their outcomes in a written report.

In this 4-H horticulture and gardening worksheet, students study how some of the food they eat is the stems, roots, leaves, seeds, and flowers of plants by completing a fill-in-the-blank activity and a word search page. They examine the...

Second graders experiment to understand how force is effected by friction.  In this forces in action lesson, 2nd graders view a website to simulate what happens when the height of a ramp is changed. Students participate in an...

Students examine the life cycle of plants. For this plants lesson, students identify the various stages of plants and their parts. Students compare the life cycle of a plant with that of an animal. Activities suggested can be modified...

Students explore how enzymes are important in the chemical reactions of all living things.  In this enzymes and catalysts instructional activity students complete an activity to see how enzymes change living things.
