- Aztec Floating Gardens-
Students will be participating in a series of short experiments involving
plants in order to discover ways to create a hydroponic garden.
- Birth of a Plant
From a Seed- Students shall be able to label parts of a dicotyledon
seed by function as well as by proper names.
- Data-gathering Activities
Relating to Trees in Their Environment- Upper grade elementary students
will be able to determine heights of trees and their ages. A canopy
map will indicate optimal growing areas for the tree.
- Determining
transpiration from a schoolyard tree- This is a great exploration
for middle to High School learners. It affords the opportunity for them
to see that trees are veritable climatic engines.
- Flower
Dissection Lab- :This lab will help familiarize you with the reproductive
parts of flowers.
- Four Parts of a
Green Plant and the Functions of each Part- The learner will learn
four parts of a green plant and the functions of each part.
- From Flower to Fruit-
Students will learn about self-pollination and pollination by insects
and other animals.
- Fun Activities
Using Seeds- The students will be able to identify the parts of
a seed and their functions in germination.
- Germination: Name
That Seed- The student should be able to recognize and differentiate
between the male and female reproductive organs of a flower.
- Growth of Plants
and Bacteria- Students should be able to explain the deleterious
effects of ultraviolet radiation on the growth and development of plants
and bacteria.
- How Buds on Trees
Survive the Cold (and Related Mysteries)- The objectives are (1)
to see how the delicate tissues of a tree bud are insulated so that
they can survive the winter, (2) to learn how to determine the age of
a branch/twig, and (3) to see how growth of branches can vary from year
to year.
- How Plants Spice
Up Our Lives- Students will be able to determine what part of a
plant a spice comes from by using taste, touch, smell and sight.
- Indoor Gardening-
To learn how different plants grow under certain conditions. To describe
several uses of seed plants. The students will identify different seeds.
- Investigating the
Structure of the Flower- The student will learn the basic anatomy
of a flower by means of creating a model.
- Let It Grow-
These activities are designed for students in grade three. Students
will identify the parts of a corn seed and a bean seed and understand
their functions. Students will identify the parts of the plants that
they have grown and understand their functions.
- Plant Actions-
To compare the results of iodine test of two leaves one that has been
exposed to sunlight and one that has not.
- Plant
Growth- The students will be able to identify the simple parts of
a plant. The students will be able to plant seeds and understand what
the seed needs to grow.
- Photosynthesis-
Observe evidence of photosynthesis in a water plant.
- Photosynthesis:
A Controlled Experiment- To measure the amount of starch left in
a leaf of a geranium plant under the following conditions; carbon dioxide
increased, decreased and neither increased or decreased.
- Seed Germination-
The main objective of the Mini-teach is to show students that water
and air are essential to the germination process of plant life and that
this process can be demonstrated by using any different number of growth
chambers.
- Seeds-Seed Sort-
The second grade students will count and sort seeds and find the likenesses
and differences of many seeds.
- Showing Nature's
Way-Plant Development & the Plant Parts We Eat- The student will
demonstrate and record the stages of plant growth. The student will
categorize food plants by identifying the edible part.
- Structure and Function
of Seeds- Seeds of flowering plants have two main parts, the "cotyledon(s)"
(one or two, depending on the seed type) and the "embryo" (a tiny "baby"
plant in a state of suspended animation).
- Structure Of A Plant-
Use scientific methods to perform simple experiments, including asking
a question, making predictions, describing a procedure, making observations,
collecting data, and drawing conclusions. Follow directions to complete
a simple experiment.
- Structure of Seeds
and Effects of Fertilizer on Plant Growth- The second is to investigate
how fertilizer affects the growth of plants, particularly of seedlings,
and how this relates to seed structure.
- The Effects of Light
& Temperature on the Growth & Development of Plants- To show how
visible light constitutes only a small part of the spectrum of radiant
energy.
- The Parts of A Perfect
Flower- Explains the role of each flower part.
- The Structure of
A Flower- Observe the structure of a flower. What function does
each of these structures serve?
- Transportation in
Plants- Students will understand how the forces of adhesion and
cohesion and the process of transpiration aid in the transportation
of water through the plant.
- Tree Identification
by the Use of Leaves- Utilize the phenomenological approach to motivate
students at the sixth grade level to understand how leaf Arrangement
and structure can be used for tree identification.
- What are Some Substances
That Will Cause Algae To Grow?- Students will learn how to set up
a controlled experiment. Students will be able to determine the effects
of oil, detergent, copper crystals sulfate and lawn fertilizer have
on the growth of algae.
- Which Sex is it?-
This lesson is designed for freshman level biology, but it is easily
adaptable for lower grades. Students will be able to identify the parts
of a flower. Students will be able to distinguish between a perfect
and imperfect flower.
