Students identify the main parts of a seed. In this biology lesson, students explain the factors needed for the seed to grow. They record observations everyday and report findings to class.

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

Sixth graders investigate the parts of a seed by using a digital camera.  In this botany lesson, 6th graders plant their own seeds in class and demonstrate the necessary attributes for growing a plant.  Students utilize a...

For this earth science worksheet, students identify and discover the amazing ways that desert plants adapt to harsh habitats. They use discussion and drawing to explore their existing knowledge about deserts. Then, students respond to 15...

In this math worksheet, they investigate the polar graph of: r = a + b sin (t), for various values of a and b. This is called a limacon and is applied to the definition of a transformation.

Pupils explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the Y-axes.

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Students play an alphabet game with beans that asks them create simple short vowel words. They spill several marked beans onto a paper and separate those that have fallen face-up. They arrange the beans into words and read them aloud.

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...

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...

Students study the functions of seeds. For this biology lesson plan, students observe the structure of a seed as they show the function of the cotyledons in providing nourishment to the plant during the early times after germination.

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.

Learners discover data sampling. In this science lesson plan, students explore data sampling and turn the data collected into useful information by making graphs and using them to solve problems.

Second graders discover the process of osmosis. In this science lesson plan, 2nd graders learn how different kinds of solutions move through selectively permeable membranes, understand the role of osmosis in the movement of molecules,...

Students examine how to take a sample by looking at rocks in the schoolyard. In this sampling lesson plan, students discuss ways to classify rocks by color, size, and weight. They think about how many rocks would make a good sample of...

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve instructional activity, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the...

Students use descriptive words to describe zoo animals.

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.

Fourth graders draw maps of Peru and examine how Peru is a geographically diverse country.

Students compare and contrast the mass, volume, and density of various objects. They use a triple beam balance, measure and record the volume of a cup of water, and discuss the results.

Third graders use the Internet (www.weather.com) to find the high temperature for our locale and the high temperature for another city around the world. They keep track of the temperature in these two locations for 10 days.

Students review the concept of measuring length. In groups, they travel to various centers throughout the classroom. They experiment with using different objects to measure the length of items given to them by their teacher. They are...

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.

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...
