Students participate in an activity in which they investigate the scientific method and seed germination as well as practice graphing and metric measuring skills. Students examine toxicity by exposing Wisconsin Fast Plants seeds to toxic...

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

The concepts of a year, and the changing of the seasons are very important concepts to reinforce with young learners. Here, pre-kindergartners and kindergartners begin to understand the concept of one year, the passing of time, and the...

Young scholars observe the life cycle of a plant in a glove.  In this life cycle lesson plan, students read and discuss the life cycle of a plant.  Young scholars then plant seeds in a clear plastic glove and record their...

How do seeds get from a plant to the ground so they can germinate? This presentation provides the answer to seed dispersal in relation to plant reproduction. Straightforward explanations and definitions for wind, animal, burial, fruit,...

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 investigate the concept of seeds and how they can germinate. They obtain seeds and isolate them in a rubber glove before transplanting them into the ground. The lesson includes a graphic organizer for observations or information.

Students share experiences they have had with different types of seeds. After being read a story, they are given a lima bean in which they split apart and examine the inside. To end the lesson, they share their own ideas on how they...

Students explore environmental safety by planting seeds outside their classroom. In this Earth Day instructional activity, students identify the different ways to recycle and conserve resources on Earth while facilitating recycling bins...

Students investigate how seeds are dispersed on land.  In this plant biology lesson, students use a dissecting microscope to study strawberry seeds and dandelion seeds, they draw what they see, then create a hypothesis on the seeds...

Students plant pumpkins. In this agriculture instructional activity, students use pumpkin seeds, mulch, and shovels to plant seeds from a pumpkin. Students observe the changes during each season.

First graders read a story. In this seeds instructional activity, 1st graders read The Tiny Seed and make their own seed house. Students write down their observations and complete a worksheet.

First graders examine seeds. In this fruits and vegetables lesson, 1st graders determine what fruits and vegetables have in common. Students cut open fruits and vegetables and examine their seeds. Students describe the sizes, shapes and...

Investigate the structure of seeds and the effects of fertilizer on the growth of plants. Young scientists observe a peanut and determine if it is a monocot or dicot plant. They plant seeds and make varying solutions of fertilizer, then...

Students investigate seeds, flowers and germinating seeds. In this germination lesson plan, students observe a stalk of corn, a corn seed, Gladiolas and glass jars containing germinating sees and plants. Students answer 8 questions...

In this life cycle worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting the life cycle of a flowering plant and a rabbit.

Students demonstrate seed dispersal vectors through role-play, analyze seed types, identify plant parts, list seven conditions plants need in order to grow, and describe how seeds travel.

Young scholars discover how seeds travel from their parent plants in search of water, sunlight, and nutrients, and conduct experiments in which they note characteristics that encourage seed dispersal by means of wind, water, animal...

Students examine the variation among responses of seeds to the same dose of the same chemical. In reviewing their seed investigation, students note that sometimes not all seeds in the same bag responded in the same way.
