Do you like your strawberry jelly with or without the seeds? Are you glad to have a seed-free watermelon, or do you enjoy spitting the seeds into the garden? You might not like to find seeds in your fruit, but fruit is nature's way of...

This image from Biology by Kenneth R. Miller and Joseph Levine illustrates the five most important parts of a seed: the seed coat, the endosperm, and the embryo's primary root, cotyledon, and embryonic leaves.

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...

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

Activity helps with the understanding of seed dispersal.

Learn about comparing seeds in the environment.

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...

In this project you'll build a bird feeding platform with four separate feeding areas. You'll be able to observe birds at close range, find out what birds inhabit your area, and learn about their seed-eating preferences. So get out your...

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

Third graders create investigations to determine the parts of a seed and then research in order to describe the purpose of those parts.

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.

Resource describes the process of germination and includes the parts of a seed, environmental conditions, and rate of germination.

Jethro Tull (1674-1741) invented a machine that helped to increase the harvest yield by planting seeds in straight lines, a vast improvement over sowing by hand that led to greater crop yields.

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

In this plant biology science fair project, students will investigate effects of irradiation on seed germination. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed...

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,...

This simple lesson plan is designed to help young young scholars 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.

Activity focuses on the impact of water on seed germination.

A Seed Discussion is a two-part strategy used to teach students how to engage in discussions about assigned readings. In the first part, students read selected text and identify "seeds" or key concepts of a passage which may need...

This lesson plan offers an alternative to generic torn/cut paper mosaics by using beans and seeds. Introduce Mexican culture and have your students practice the elements of line, shape, and color.

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

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...
