This activity involves designing a seed packet for seeds that have come from a newly discovered plant. It stimulates discussion on what the seeds need to grow and how to care for the young growing plant. It gives the students an opportunity to write instructional texts and requires some creative thinking in the design of the packet. This provides useful opportunities for developing literacy and presentation skills as well as being a good end-of-topic activity.

In this activity, students investigate how effective different mediums are for sowing seeds. Students will make a prediction as to which materials the seeds will germinate in and determine how to make this a fair test.
In this activity, students grow seeds in Petri dishes and make direct ...
In this activity, students grow seeds in Petri dishes and make direct observations of the roots as they grow. The activity requires measurements over a number of days.
In this activity, students play a variation of the board game "Snakes ...
In this activity, students play a variation of the board game "Snakes and Ladders." The game will reinforce students' understanding about what seeds need to germinate and what plants need to grow well.

This animation allows students to view the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In particular, it tackles the common misconception among students that respiration in plants does not take place at the same time as photosynthesis. Teachers' notes are provided.

This digital book describes and illustrates the processes of photosynthesis and respiration and explains why they are important to the global ecosystem.

In this inquiry-based lab, students will construct an experimental setup to compare the rate of photosynthesis to the rate of respiration. This will make it possible to perform a quantitative analysis of the rate of photosynthesis under different light intensities.

In this series of activities, students learn about plants and how they grow, including what materials and conditions are needed for optimal plant growth.
In this activity, students make the root of a seedling grow through ...
In this activity, students make the root of a seedling grow through a maze by rotating a petri dish to different angles. When a seed germinates, a root and a shoot appear. Their directional movements are a response to gravity or gravitropism. Primary roots show positive gravitropism as they grow toward gravity.

In this series of activities, students play several games to help them learn and review the different parts of a plant. The templates for the cards can be found at http://www.saps.org.uk/attachments/article/307/SAPS%20Parts%20of%20a%20plant%20-%20partF.pdf

In this series of activities, students plant seeds and make observations about the different stages of the plants' life cycle. They will also examine the seedlings and identify the plant's parts.
