Ninth graders identify plant parts by using different classification methods. In this plant lesson students observe and draw different types of leaves then classify them according to species.

Students study the aspects of a forest floor ecosystem, including decomposition, the water cycle, food webs, the needs of living things, and physical vs. chemical change over an extended period. In addition, students conduct observations...

Students study apples and then paint apples whichever color is their favorite apple color. They help create a bulletin board for the classroom. They graph the different colors of apples found on the board.

Students explore nature by conducting botany experiments. In this plant life lesson, students define the necessary resources for a plant to thrive on our planet while defining scientific vocabulary terms. Students utilize different plant...

Students explore the garden environment. In this garden environment lesson, students investigate the needs and parts of a plant. Students discover the differences between fruits and vegetables while creating their own garden.

Students bring different plant parts in order to make one big salad. They observe each part and classify it.

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.

Students explore the peanut plant. In this peanut lesson, students discuss the needs and parts of regular plants. They research peanut plants to see why they are unique. 

Students write the steps needed to germinate bean seeds, make predictions and observations and keep an experience journal and complete a chart.

Learners investigate why and how bees pollinate flowers and other plants. They define pollination, and read and sing along with the song "Yo, i'm a Flower." Students examine a diagram of a flower, simulate bees pollinating flowers, and...

Students observe different insects and the different kinds of foods they like to eat. In this insects lesson plan, the teacher collects insects and different plants and roots. Then the students learn about those insects and have to be...

Students assign numbers to describe objects. In this number lesson, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

Second graders complete many cross categorical activities about apples. In this apples lesson plan, 2nd graders cook with apples, make a mobile, finger-paint, write a story about apples, and more. Students read poetry and complete math...

Seventh graders study how real airplanes fly and then they construct models of paper airplanes using design resources for the Internet and their own design. They use meaurement and caluculations in order to help them construct their...

Fifth graders participate in an online Web lesson plan on ways of interpreting data. They conduct a survey and interpret the results in a journal entry.

Fifth graders collect data and prepare data displays using a survey with statistical information.

Pupils explore air and clouds by watching demonstration. They perform an experiment to measure air pressure changes.

Learners differentiate between the terms 'tornado watch' and 'tornado warning' and simulate the conditions that produce tornadoes. They read "Night of the Twisters" by Ivy Ruckman and conduct an experiment using two-liter plastic...

Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.

Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

Students student the concept of bycatch, the act of unintentionally catching certain living creatures using fishing equipment. They determine the difference between bycatch and target creatures. They discover what species become bycatch...

Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.

Students identify that plants cannot develop adequately without air and predict what happens to the leaf of a geranium brought to class. They draw a picture of what they think the leaf will look like after a week of being covered....

Learners investigate the plants and animals found in Utah deserts and how these organisms have adapted to their environment. They brainstorm ways that desert plants are different from or similar to wetland plants.
