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.

In this calories worksheet, students use a chart comparing the calories found in different food items to complete 3 short answer questions.

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

Students explore the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In this photosynthesis and respiration lesson plan, students learn about the role of the chloroplasts in photosynthesis and about the role of mitochondria in respiration...

Students sort through numerous seeds to find similarities and differences. In this sorting and classifying lesson, students divide up different plant seeds based on their similarities and differences, while keeping record of their findings.

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.

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.

Young scholars explore how the sense of hearing helps us learn from each other through communication. Sound can produce patterns.

Learners see that spiders have a life cycle, and reproduce by laying many eggs. We can count by ones, twos, fives, or as many as we want. They make two lists of animals on a chart.

Students read The Garden by Arnold Lobel, plant seeds to discover what makes them grow, and record their observations in their journals.

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