In this seed dispersal learning exercise, students classify plants and fruits. Students group plants and fruits with the mode of dispersal by which their seeds travel.

Students study the types and parts of seeds and how they have evolved.  In this germination lesson students complete experiments that show the effects of variables role in seed germination. 

Here is a one-hour activity that helps learners remember the parts of plants. Not only will the class learn about plant parts, they'll also discuss seed dispersal and plant growth. A celery experiment is used to show how plants obtain...

Turn your classroom into a pollination station as your kids transform into moths or predators trying to survive and aiding in plant reproduction along the way. Using silent party blowers as proboscises, the moths will have two minutes to...

Students examine plants and pollinators. In this plant biology instructional activity, students read The Power of Pollinators and identify the parts of the plant and the pollinators. Students design their own imaginary plants.

Students discover how seeds travel from their parent plants in search of water, sunlight, and nutrients, and conduct experiments in which they note characteristics that encourage seed dispersal by means of wind, water, animal carriers,...

Students collect data as they identify and classify native prairie plants and insects. They create their own population study using a variety of sampling techniques to determine the population density of various species. Students...

Students study the concepts of seed dispersal, germination rate, exponential population growth, and predation by engaging in a bean 'weeds vs. natives' relay race. They illustrate how weeds out-compete other plants for space by crowding...

Learners explore the life cycle of plants. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the two ways that seeds germinate. Learners dissect seeds and record data. Resources are provided in French and English.

Students participate in several activities on seed exploration. For this biology lesson, students classify seeds according to their dispersal method. They explain the different adaptations plant have to disperse their seeds.

Students collect seeds from field plants as part of understanding seed dispersal.

Introduce your class to producers, consumers, and pollinators with a reading passage. Class members read the text and respond to five related questions.

Pupils become plants in an interpretive play that depicts what happens throughout the seasons in a rain garden. As you narrate, students bloom, flower, and go to seed accordingly. The lesson is first in a series of lessons written for...

Young scholars enjoy the challenge of the seed structure design component of this activity and become very competitive as they seek to create a seed that travel farthest.

Students explain chemical, cultural and biological weed control methods. They design and conduct an experiment to simulate a weed control method and explore various ways to prevent weed dispersal.

First graders practice identifying plants by singing a song.  In this plant life lesson, 1st graders sing the song "Parts of a Plant" which is based on the anatomy of sunflowers.  Students discover agriculture techniques while...

Students examine seed coats. In this biology instructional activity, students look at pictures of magnified seed coats, then use hand-help magnifiers or microscopes to look at seed coats on their own.

Have you been wondering how to use that natural trail at or near your school? This activity gets kids outside with a purpose: learn about ecological succession through field observations and collecting seed and soil samples. The resource...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...

Every good lesson on plant life should have a good worksheet to go along with it. Here is a very nice worksheet that requires students to label the four main parts of a plant. Included is a second worksheet that shows three different...

Fourth graders research and apply knowledge about plant pollination and fertilization in this instructional activity. They color on a flower diagram the anther, the pistil, the pollen, the pollen tube, the ovary, and the egg to show the...

Students explore the distribution of plant seeds. In this science lesson, students discuss plants that explode in order to spread their seeds. Students create pea shooters and use dried peas to see how far they will travel.

Students conduct online research to investigate gardening and landscaping tips. They determine how they can help beautify their homes and neighborhoods.

Fourth graders explore the importance of plants to animals and visa versa. After reading a book, The Tree in the Ancient Forest, they explore how plants and animals are independent. Students list living and nonliving things they...
