Students will observe the parts of a seed, and identify how the different parts of the seed help a plant germinate.

Use this guide and some everyday materials to learn about plants and start your own garden.

We all know that plants need sunlight and water to grow big and tall. But did you know that inside seeds are baby plants, and that the fragile baby plant inside the seed needs to be protected? If you've ever had a sunburn, you also know...

If you have ever made a wish and blown the fluff of a dandelion, you have witnessed how some plants are adapted to spreading their seeds using the wind. The tiny, furry parachute allows the seeds to be picked up by the wind and to be...

Young scholars will use the illustrations and details in the text to describe how plants grow. This lesson uses a complex text to allow students to analyze the pictures in From Seed to Plant and From Seed to Pumpkin. Included are videos...

Compare the growth of normal plants with plants that have been genetically modified to make them resistant to the chemical herbicide Roundup. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

An in-depth reference explaining the role of seed plants in biological diversity. Photographs and labeled diagrams help learners with understanding.

This is the reproduction chapter from an online text, courtesy of the Forest Biology Department of Virginia Tech. Learn about trees, their flowers, and other details of their reproductive cycle.

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.

A thorough discussion of the environmental cues that can trigger germination and of the changes in structure that result. Charts, graphs, and links are also provided.

This plant biology science fair project that explores factors involved in successful propagation of plants using plant division instead of seeds. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

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.

Try this fun recipe for making and growing wildflowers right in your own garden.

RCN offers information about plants, including the evolution and classification of different groups.

Nikki is learning about plant seed dispersal methods. Join in and learn how this is important to plant reproduction.

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

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

This is a site with links covering multiple areas of tree and plant study. Great illustrations and information.

Explains the similarities and differences between angiosperms and gymnosperms and provides examples of each.

Discusses the basic needs of plants and the stages they go through in developing from a seed.

Site details the parts of the flower as well as provides links to terms such as seed, calyx, corolla and many more.

Students gain an understanding of the parts of a plant, plant types and how they produce their own food from sunlight through photosynthesis. They also learn about transpiration, the process by which plants release moisture to the...

The students 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 students will be observing the water cycle as...

You might not know it, but plants are able to sense their environment and actually respond appropriately. One of the key parameters that every plant must respond to is the direction of gravity: stems go up (opposite to the pull of...
