Students measure and record their height in centimeters on a graph. By integrating math and science, students collect data and apply graphing skills to the experiences they are having growing plants. Finally, students identify how to...

Become a member of the Pollution Patrol and stand up to litter! After discussing the life cycle of seeds and discussing how plants figure into the food chain, young conservationists engage in several activities involving podcasts,...

The world would be a much different place without the help of pollinators. Read about the important role bats, hummingbirds, and various insects play in plant reproduction, exploring the interdependence of living things in an ecosystem....

Learners investigate seeds and their growth. For this agriculture lesson, students read the book How a Seed Grows and discuss the seed cycle. Learners examine real seeds and identify their properties. Students create a set of sequencing...

Students play a game that demonstrates variables that affect farming. They write letters requesting free seed catalogs. They discuss the saying "A penny saved is a penny earned" in relation to what they learned from playing the attached...

Students evaluate their differences, then look at differences in plants. For this class team building and life science lesson, the class play a game that focuses on similarities and differences in the group, then students plant three...

In this biology worksheet, students read about the parts of plant seeds and look at a seed diagram. They read about the roots, endosperm, embryo, and the process of germination. They answer 8 online multiple choice questions based on the...

Students discover how seeds travel from their parent plants in search of water, sunlight, and nutrients, and conduct experiments in which they note characteristics that encourage seed dispersal by means of wind, water, animal carriers,...

Students explore agriculture by researching different seeds. In this seed identification lesson, students collaborate in small groups to analyze a package of different seeds. Students utilize a magnifying glass to examine each seed...

Third graders plant seeds. For this seed structure lesson, 3rd graders identify parts of a seed and plant a lima bean seed.  Students discuss and reflect on the process in their journals. 

Students test worm castings for content and use them to grow seeds. They hypothesize which castings best sustain seed growth. They observe growing plants to test their hypotheses. Later they graph their data.

Students use the scientific method to test an idea regarding the structures of a plant as it supports the biological evidence for life. In this growing roots lesson, students use organizing sheets to record their findings. Students...

Students examine seeds and predict the plant it comes from. In this seed match lesson, students match seeds to plants and then see if their predictions are correct. Students predict the number of seeds found in plants as well. Students...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need soil to survive and grow. They plant two seeds, one with soil and one without, make predictions, and record and analyze the seed germination results on a worksheet.

Students investigate the stages of plant life. Students create a K-W-L chart. They describe six main stages of the plant life cycles. Using stickers, students create a life cycle flow map.

Second graders conduct a plant experiment.  In this basic needs of plants instructional activity, 2nd graders observe plants for two weeks. Students record data from their plants in journals. 

Learners determine seed dispersal methods. In this life science lesson plan, students make predictions about how seeds might move, then look at seeds under micrographs or microscopes to analyze the seed coat and how this helps...

Third graders study plants. In this biology lesson plan, 3rd graders label and identify parts of plants, identify spices obtained from plants, and determine what part of a plant a spice comes from by using taste, touch, smell and sight.

In this creative lesson on seeds, 1st graders listen as the book The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle is read to them about the life of a seed. Students then draw a picture to show the life cycle of a seed in each season.

Students describe sexual reproduction in plants, including the process of pollination, how insects assist in pollination, and how pollination differs from fertilization. They also explore the importance of honey bees to Arizona agriculture.

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...

First graders sequence the development of a plant. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders listen to a story about how a plant grows, students view a PowerPoint presentation and learn new vocabulary. Finally, students sequence the stages...

Students investigate the function and purpose of seed dispersal. In this garden instructional activity, students examine the importance of wind in the plant cycle. Students construct a flying seed model from an attached design and...

Students identify how vegetable plants grow. In this plant lesson, students brainstorm different fruits and vegetables and read the book Growing Vegetable Soup. Students visit a garden and observe how vegetables grow.
