Students investigate how plants grow in different biomes. In this biomes lesson plan, students plant sees of impatiens, lima beans and rye seeds in egg cartons. When the plants begin to grow they simulate the assigned biome conditions...

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.

Students examine birdseed to see if it is a fertilized seed. In this birdseed garden lesson, students experiment with birdseed on a sponge to see what grows. Students record the growth of seeds.

Students sow seeds of learning. In this biology lesson plan, students label parts of a dicotyledon seed by function as well as by proper names.

Students explain that events in nature follow an orderly progression when they plant seeds and observe the development of the seeds. They count seeds and find the likenesses and the differences of many seeds.

Students discover the importance of seeds in relationship to nature.  In this plant growth lesson plan, students create a collection of seeds and discover the best type of environment to plant them.  Students plant their own...

Students observe beans germinating in a plastic bag.  In this bean growing lesson, students predict what their beans will look like. Students draw illustrations to record the changes in their bean plants. Students should also note...

Students design and conduct an experiment to discover the role of direct sunlight on plants during germination and after germination. They plant corn and lima beans in small containers which they place in direct sunlight from a window...

Middle schoolers observe how the bean seed has changed after being soaked in water overnight and record their observations. They open the bean and observe the inside. Finally, students draw and label the parts of a bean seed and write...

Pupils plant seeds in milk cartons, over the next two weeks, they watch the plants closely to see how they grow and change. They keep a photo journal to record the growth of the plant.

Students share what they know about plants and discuss what else they would like to know. The teacher evaluates students' prior knowledge of plants to inform future instruction. Students practice observation and prediction skills.

Students conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. In this seed germination lesson, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. students complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data obtained from...

Third graders brainstorm the effects of light on the growth of plants. In groups, they participate in various activities in which they grow alfalfa sprouts and lima beans. They complete a worksheet on how the varying amount of light...

Students form groups to conduct an experiment. They plant seedlings to test the effects of sunlight, water and soil, on the growth of seedlings.

Students observe the growth of a seed, and describe the seed's germination.

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

Students explore the process of seed germination. In this botany lesson, students complete an experiment with seeds. Students observe soaked and dry seeds. Students allow the seeds to germinate and make observations during this time....

Students explore seeds through dissecting, sorting, comparing and contrasting. They draw their observations of both a closed and open seed and then they label the parts of a seed. They brainstorm where seeds come from. They compare seeds...

Students dissect seeds. In this seed dissection instructional activity, students discover the anatomy of seeds. After dissecting seeds, students hypothesize and design the perfect seed to survive in a dry forest.

Student groups use lima beans to represent dicots and corn to represent monocots, soak the seeds, and separate the embryos from the cotyledons. They then place the seeds in Petri dishes in agar and observe for at least one week recording...

Third graders observe plants and record their growth. They describe the parts of plants in detail including the roots, stems and leaves.

Eleventh graders are introduced to the effect of gravity on plant growth. They describe the major processes and mechanisms by which plants grow, develop, and supply various products, including energy and nutrition, needed by other...

First graders, in groups, explore patience through use of the book The Carrot Seed.
