In this lab, middle schoolers investigate the effects of a variable on the germination of a small plant. They will compare the growth of their variable to a control then write a lab report to report their findings.

A multiple-choice quiz on the processes of respiration and photosynthesis in plants.

This activity will be used prior to any direct instruction for photosynthesis. In this inquiry lab, learners design and conduct simple experiments using elodea and Bromthymol blue to determine whether plants consume or release carbon...

Students use the gas sensors to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide consumed or produced by a plant during respiration and photosynthesis. They also determine the rate of respiration and photosynthesis in a plant.

Students can use a Colorimeter to compare the rates of photosynthesis for plants in different light conditions. They investigate the role of chloroplasts and light on photosynthesis.

This resource identifies the main parts of the photosynthesis process. Learn more about how sunlight plays in plant growth.

Plants are essential for all life and development. Teach your students about this incredible lifeforce with this teaching guide, lecture notes, and PowerPoint presentation. [PDF]

This lesson will explain the role of plants in everyday life. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Plants."

Two simple experimental demonstrations show the role of plants in mitigating the acidification caused when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water.

Students of all ages wonder what happens to a seed when you plant it in the ground. Try this basic experiment and let them explore, pose questions, and make predictions.

This site from the Texas A & M University discusses some factors which influencethe growth and development of rootsin various species of grass plants.Relates root nutrient absorptionto the photosynthetic rate in these plants.

Teachers and students interested in finding information on how to start a garden in their school will find this site very helpful. This site, sponsored by the Department of Horticulture Sciences at Texas A&M University, includes a...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this unit children learn about what plants need to grow well and why this is important.

In this activity, students examine how to grow plants the most efficiently. They imagine that they are designing a biofuels production facility and need to know how to efficiently grow plants to use in this facility. As a means of...
