This Web site from Education World (last mentioned in the
February 22, 2002 Scout Report) offers a wealth of plant-related lesson plans and resources. Five lesson plans from Education World, and over a dozen more listed from other sources, aim to "involve students in growing things and learning about scientific classification, plant cell structure, the importance of plants in our history, and the many uses of plants!" While some of the activities seem more like craft projects than science lessons, they all serve to encourage learning about plants in an engaging, hands-on way. Be sure to check out the links provided for additional plant-related resources for teachers.
