Students conduct Internet research on plants and complete a WebQuest on vegetable plants. They use a graphic organizer to display their findings, observe actual vegetables and design a salad, noting which part of each plant is included.

Students illustrate the major parts of a plant, classify some plant foods we eat as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. They also name some animals that use seeds, leaves, and fruit for food.

Students practice using 2 different plant classification keys to identify species. They make choices between the similarities and differences between their object and the classification scheme.

Students know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.

Students investigate the basic parts of plant and that plants are living things which require water, air, light and nutrients for survival. They do this through a series of scientific experiements and multi-curricular hands-on activities.

Young scholars use the scientific method to test an idea regarding the structures of a plant as it supports the biological evidence for life. In this growing roots lesson, students use organizing sheets to record their findings. Young...

Students identify different leaf types. They examine their patterns, shapes and colors. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson plan.

Students explore Earth science by completing a plant art project. In this botany lesson, students utilize tights and soil to create a furry, grassy puppet style animal from cress seeds. Students cut off the excess cress after several...

Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.

Students participate in a class survey and then design an experiment and use graphs and statistics to assist them in solving a problem. They organize the results of the survey in a stem-and-leaf plot and find the range, median, mean, and...

In this counting leaves worksheet, students assist EarTwiggle in counting all the leaves found within a piece of art and then place their answer in the box provided at the lower right hand corner.

There is more than one way to represent data! Learners explore ways to represent data. They examine stacked graphs, histograms, and line plots. They conduct surveys and use stacked graphs, histograms, or line plots to chart the data they...

Students examine techniques to represent data. In this data analysis lesson, students read about various ways to represent data, such as a stem and leaf diagram and calculating standard deviation. Students complete data analysis...

Young scholars create a drawing of a flower using Georgia O'Keeffe as their inspiration, then develop skills in drawing and composition. They explain the difference between realistic and abstract.

Students investigate how water travels up the stem of vascular plants by using food coloring to stain the xylem of a number of different plants. They know the function of leaves, stems, and root at the end of the experiment.

Pupils play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students explore a variety of colors and shapes after reading the story, "Planting A Rainbow," by Lois Ehlert. The tracking and reading of labels attached to diagrams form an experience in vocabulary development in this lesson.

Students enter information about their heartbeats into a spreadsheet. They construct data displays and calculate statistics. They describe and justify their conclusions from the data collected.

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...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in Phoenix area. Can be adapted to other areas.

Students run a computer simulation and collect data as they work and use the data to create an annual report for their business. It is desirable for students to do this project individually, but it could be done as a class using a large...

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.
