Students review the needs of animals, hypothesize the needs of plants, and set up experiments to test hypotheses.

Students listen to a read aloud, Dinofours My Seeds Won't Grow. They talk about what plants need to grow and study the parts of plants. They discuss what types of plants we eat after which they plant a seed in order to observe the growth...

If you're reading the story "Merry Christmas, Geraldine" by Holly Keller, this is a fantastic cross-curricular resource to use. Complete with activities for language arts, science, social studies, art, and math, you'll get the most out...

Third graders observe and create a record of seed growth over time. After planting a seed, 3rd graders record their observations of the seed's growth over a three week period. Upon conclusion of the experiment, they write a paragraph...

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...

Facilitate learning by using small objects to teach the principles of atomic mass in your science class. Pupils determine the average mass of varying beans as they perform a series of competitive experiments. They gather data and...

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...

Learners recognize consist stems, trunks, leaves, and roots. They compare different types of roots by observing and comparing photographs. Aterwards, they observe the growth of a lima bean plant and document changes in root and shoot...

Students explore botany by conducting an investigation in class. In this seeds lesson, students utilize lima bean seeds and magnifying glasses to examine the different parts of a seed after it has been dissected. Students compare...

Young scholars look at seeds and plants. In this plant lesson plan, students observe dry lima beans and soaked lima beans to find the different parts of seeds. They read the book Miss Rumpius by Barbara Cooney and "plant" their seeds in...

Fourth graders participate in a scientific experiment involving growing lima beans. Students plot information gathered on included charts and graphs. Students use the steps of the scientific method throughout this experiment.

Third graders plant seeds. In 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 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 observe, measure and record variations that may be due to genetic inheritance. They look at the length of seeds for germinating pinto and lima beans and measure the distance between eyes in humans. They graph and discuss the...

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...

Third graders investigate how a seed germinate to become a plant. They study a lima bean to review the parts of seeds.

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...

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 arrive at a verifiable rule, or set of rules, to handle all addition situations with signed numbers.

Students determine the average mass of a new element using masses from three isotopes. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain what an isotope is. They discuss their importance and uses.

Students construct two bell curves using two different yet related objects. For example, two kinds of Hershey's Kisses (plain and almond) or two kinds of dried beans (kidney and lima).

Seventh graders explore the concept of ratios and proportions. In this ratios and proportions lesson, 7th graders work in groups to measure their heights and their arm span. Students compare their height to their arm span. Students make...

Second graders begin the lesson by planting their own bean seed. Individually, they make predictions about how many leaves and roots their plant might grow and each day record their observations. They graph the results of the length of...

As the third worksheet in a series about parallel structure, this worksheet continues to challenge students' writing skills. It includes twenty multiple choice questions; students must select the correct phrase to complete each sentence...
