First graders sequence the development of a plant. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders listen to a story about how a plant grows, students view a PowerPoint presentation and learn new vocabulary. Finally, students sequence the stages...

Learners observe grass growth. In this agricultural lesson, students use empty eggshells and fill them with soil and grass seed. Learners record eggshell "hair growth" on a chart.

Third graders transplant, tend and observe a plant for each letter of the alphabet in a school garden. They work individually to research and select a plant that will grow in their local climate. Students then care for and observe the...

Students discuss Restoration Ecology. They see that restoration can mean removing invasive, non-native plants and replacing them with native plants grown by Students.

First graders investigate plant growth and examine what factors contribute to plant growth. They keep a class chart of plant growth and write about and illustrate their conclusions.

Students compare common food items with the parts of a plant. They grow their own plants to assess the difficulties in assisting a plant's growth and reproduction.

Students compare the growth of watermelon from commercial seeds and those harvested from a watermelon. They complete science journals showing these comparisons based on the data they collect.

Learners investigate how soil composition affects plant growth. In small groups, they plant various seeds in different soil mixtures, record plant and seed growth, and analyze the results.

Second graders explore roots and how they grow. They observe as seeds planted in various directions grow and record their observations. Students discuss the direction in which the roots are growing.

Students predict outcomes of scientific experiment,.conduct a scientific experiment with control groups, and plant seeds to observe, measure, and compare growth across groups. They gather, record, analyze, and share data with other...

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

In this carbon cycle lesson plan, middle schoolers review the carbon cycle and visit stations in the room where they experience every phase in the carbon cycle. Students journal about their journey through the cycle and brainstorm...

Students investigate the life cycle of brassica plants. In this science activity, students observe each stage in the life cycle of their plant. Students record their observations and graph the data. Students

Students grow flowers from seeds. They plant quick-growing seeds in a flower pot and consider what a seed needs to grow. They observe and record the growth of the planted seeds in science journals.

Students research the damage to the environment by certain plant species. They create an experimental design which they test how these species take over certain habitats. They share their information with the class.

Students 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.

Young scholars examine the characteristics of fungi. In this biology lesson, students investigate the factors needed for fungi growth. They collect data and observations and write a report about them.

Students discuss what plants require in order to grow, identify plant parts and their functions and discuss a video about plants. They conduct a controlled experiment with bean seeds and then record and observe the bean plants.

Fourth graders explore the four basic needs of plants. They examine plants as they grow. Students discuss the changes that they see in the growing plants. They observe what happens to a plant when one of its basic needs is taken away.

Second graders read several books and complete an activity that coincides with each book. i.e. They read 'Berenstain Bears: Grow It' by Stan and Jan Berenstain and then decorate a flower pot, plant flower seeds in it and record their...

Learners identify native and invasive trees. In this ecology instructional activity, students survey trees in their schoolyard and identify the species. Learners adopt a native tree sprout and record the growth in a journal.

Students study the importance of nature to Native Americans and discover the growth stages of Northern beans and mustard seeds.

First graders measure a plant using unifix cubes and record their measurements on a class chart.

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...
