Here is a fabulous, cross-curicular lesson on seeds. Elements of science, writing, math, agricultural practices, and art are all brought into this incredibly thorough plan. Additionally, a fun whole-class game is presented, and there is...

Students practice skip counting strategies, estimation, and higher number addition. They estimate the number of seeds in bell pepper, and count seeds in groups of tens and ones after the teacher removes seeds from the pepper.

Help mathematicians estimate how many seeds are in a given vegetable or fruit. They are divided into pairs and estimate the amount of seeds in a whole fruit without seeing the inside. They then cut the fruit or vegetable in half and...

How does your garden grow? Use proportions to help Tim answer that question. By using their understanding of proportional relationships, pupils determine the number of seeds that will sprout. They create their own linear...

Students investigate seeds and find the difference between seeds and nuts.  In this seeds and nuts lesson, students predict, then count the number of seeds in an apple. Students record and share their results.  Students compare...

Learners plant seeds, observe and tend plants. They identify major plant parts, how to germinate and troubleshoot problems with plants; and, that plants need water, light, and soil nutrients to thrive. They create a Plant Growth Data Log.

Students investigate seed growth by experimenting with different soils.  In this ecology lesson, students plant seeds in paper cups and add differing amounts of salt to enhance the growth process.  Students record which plants...

Students understand how they can incorporate dietary guidelines in their daily life.  In this investigative lesson students set dietary goals and incorporate an activity to learn how to create a new seed variety while studying...

Students sort through numerous seeds to find similarities and differences. In this sorting and classifying lesson, students divide up different plant seeds based on their similarities and differences, while keeping record of their findings.

Students play a game that demonstrates variables that affect farming. They write letters requesting free seed catalogs. They discuss the saying "A penny saved is a penny earned" in relation to what they learned from playing the attached...

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

Oh no! These watermelons have no seeds! Beginning counters use fun templates as they roll dice and draw the resulting number of seeds onto the watermelon image. They also write the number in the space beside the watermelon. Consider...

In this math/science worksheet, students collaborate as a class to create a bar graph which displays the germination time for bean seeds. Students survey their classmates and plot results on a graph.

In this math/science worksheet, students who are already beginning to grow a bean seed record what it looks like on a given day. Detailed pictures of different growth stages are provided on the class graph.

Students discover bar graphs. For this primary math lesson plan, students identify the parts of watermelon seeds and other seeds. Students learn the proper names and common names which refer to the parts of the seeds as they create a bar...

In this apple seed counting learning exercise, students learn to count to 20 by making a teeny tiny book. Students cut out, color and assemble the 20 pages. Each page shows an apple with a number and the appropriate number of seeds.

Celebrate fall with four pumpkin themed hands-on activities! After learning about pumpkins, scholars complete two activity sheets that reinforce estimation and word problems. They then plant pumpkin seeds and bake a pie in...

In this counting worksheet, students match the number of seeds in each watermelon slice. Students cut out 6 slices and glue them to their match at the top of the page.

After planting a bean seed in a jar, young scientists observe the growth patterns over several days. As the bean becomes a sprout, and the sprout becomes a plant, partners measure and plot the data. They notice patterns, practice...

What better way to learn about plant life than by creating a class garden? Young botanists start with a brief discussion about radishes before planting seeds and watching them grow. To determine the importance of water,...

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...

Students identify and interpret plant growth as well as gain graphing skills and other important knowledge related to potting plants. They take a regular milk jug and cut off the top, leaving the handle and the rest intact. Then,...

Students use a balance scale with beans or seeds to estimate how many of them would weigh as much as a teddy bear counter. In this estimation lesson plan, students hold items to estimate.

In this unique lesson plan learners participate in a pumpkin seed experiment. Students interact with the pumpkins weight, seeds and record their findings of what lies within the pumpkin once the top of the pumpkin is cut off for...
