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.

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 observe the germination and growth of plants from seeds over the course of several days, and record their observations in a journal.

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,...

Second graders will plant seeds and chart their growth.

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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...
