Students understand the importance of saving seeds. In this saving seeds lesson plan, students dry out seeds for later use planting. Students recognize that one plant may have many seeds.

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...

Third graders observe and create a record of seed growth over time. After planting a seed, 3rd graders record their observations of the seed's growth over a three week period. Upon conclusion of the experiment, they write a paragraph...

First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.

Learners dissect seeds. In this seed dissection lesson, students discover the anatomy of seeds. After dissecting seeds, learners hypothesize and design the perfect seed to survive in a dry forest.

Young scholars identify the main parts of a seed. In this biology lesson, students explain the factors needed for the seed to grow. They record observations everyday and report findings to class.

Third graders investigate the wonderful and wondrous world of plants. They examine the inside of a seed, explore the different parts of a seed, plant their own seeds, watch them sprout and then eat them! They describe, using their...

Students read The Garden by Arnold Lobel, plant seeds to discover what makes them grow, and record their observations in their journals.
