Very detailed outline describing several aspects of plant diversity, including vascular vs. nonvascular, evolutionary adaptations, homosporous and heterosporous life cycles, and specific information on some ancient species (Lycophytes,...

This is a large collection of resources on cycles of nature and the Earth. There is a constant exchange of the elements between air, earth, water, plants, and animals. Most biological processes wind up back where they started. These...

Plants are one of the two major Kingdoms of living creatures on the Earth. They are the only beings which produce their own food. Additionally, plants are necessary for animals to live. Plant anatomy, life cycle, reproduction and the...

Students will listen, watch, and read while the teacher goes over the life cycle of the ferns. Students will then use the textbook or Internet websites to draw, label, decorate, or color the life cycle of ferns. Students will also use...

What do plants need? Students examine the effects of light and air on green plants, learning the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration. Student teams plant seeds, placing some in sunlight and others in darkness. They make...

This lesson engages students in learning about plant growth. Students will observe changes in a growing plant and then will write in their discovery journals to write observations and hypotheses about the plant growth. Students will also...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The life cycle of a plant is very different from the life cycle of an animal. Humans are made entirely of diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes). Our...

Photomicrographs and diagrams make this resource a great tool for studying reproduction and development. Use this along with your lab material on plants.

Students will research printed encyclopedias, Internet resources (thinkfinity.org) and their science textbook to gather information to answer questions and draw an assigned portion of the Life Cycle of the Gymnosperms. This lesson plan...

Kids learn about flowering plants in the science of biology including their life-cycle, structures of a flower, fruit, seeds, and pollination.

Photographs, informative tables, and illustrated diagrams help explain the diversity of the plant kingdom in this college-level textbook.

Good list of examples of how dormancy in tree seeds can be overcome. In the discussion, you'll pick up a fair amount about dormancy in plants.

Site covers all aspects of plant reproduction such as life cycles, angiosperms and flowers. Provides links to other sites to aide in research.

Find out about the essential role energy plays in cell function and in sustaining life. Trace energy transformations as they pass from one living thing to another.

Learn the French of everyday objects using these "Label Me" printouts for everything from colors to clothes, from the life cycle of a butterfly to the rooms in a house.

This resource explains how the alternation of generations occurs in a plant's life cycle where sporophytes and gametophytes each play a role in plant reproduction.

A biography of Melvin Calvin, the chemist who figured out how photosynthesis works. The emphasis of this biography is on his early life, the development of his interest in science, and his education.

This is an interdisciplinary language development unit addressing science and language arts standards designed for English Language Learners. In the week-long unit students will learn the life cycle of plants and discuss various uses for...

The learners will be collecting, germinating and planting seeds to show the process of plant growth. The students will be recording the information in their science journal. In addition, the learners will be observing the water cycle as...

This is an inquiry based cooperative learning unit that can be used in biology as a graduation exam review or in botany for a nine week project. The students will learn the life cycle of mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. The...

Explore the diversity and taxonomy of the plant kingdom.

This simple lesson plan is designed to help young learners be aware of how seeds sprout, and that seeds grow into plants.

Investigate propagation systems in plants, and explain the ways some animals disperse seeds through their digestive processes. Role-play and map the daily travels of one seed-bearing animal to explore the migration of seeds.

Second graders will plant seeds and chart their growth.
