Here's a five-star lesson plan in which inquisitors conduct sophisticated experimentation with cellular respiration in plant seeds. Placing seeds in a closed system they measure the amount carbon dioxide produced and relate it to...

High school or college horticulturists will appreciate this PowerPoint on seed-propagation. It walks them through the science behind seed production and germination as well as the requirements for growing plants from this stage....

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...

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 design, implement, and report a scientific research project using the scientific method. They explain the experiment and its findings through poster, essay , or other presentation method.

Students use the various steps of the scientific method to construct and carry out a detailed laboratory investigation (including a control). They demonstrate how various environmental factors may affect the process of seed germination...

Students practice problem solving through the inquiry approach. They are divided into small groups and given various problems to folve regarding the germination of radish seeds.

Beginning botanists are introduced to the world of plants with this PowerPoint. Some of the information is most appropriate for primary learners, such as the needs of a plant. Some of the information, however, is more directed at...

Students investigate the growing of beans by using a creative experiment. They plant and grow beans in a bag before transplanting them. The bean bag is checked several times a day and the data is recorded. The data is analyzed and...

Students construct a grow column as an analysis of technology and the environment. In this environment project lesson plan, students germinate seeds in recycled soda bottles and chart their data.

Students complete a germination activity to explore plants. In this plant science instructional activity, students create a neck pet that contains germinated seed to learn about the needs of plants. Students grow the seed inside their...

Students use the time-lapse feature of the QX3 Intel Digital Microscope to observe germination of seeds. They use the QX3 Intel Digital microscope to create time lapse video films of seed germination experiments.

High schoolers use a plastic sandwich bag containing a damp paper towel taped to a window as a model system to observe the germination and early growth of radish seeds. They are challenged to pose a question about seed germination and...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...

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

Learners observe the growth of a seed, and describe the seed's germination.
