From towering trees to tiny mosses, plants are some of the most important living things on Earth. They make the oxygen we breathe, provide food for people and animals, and create the green spaces that make our planet beautiful. Whether they’re growing in forests, deserts, or even cracks in the sidewalk, plants are quietly hard at work every day.
From photosynthesis to the difference between seeds and spores, this is the perfect quiz to help students ages 8–14 "grow" their plant knowledge!
In A Flower’s Fierce Fight: The Brunsvigia’s Seed-Spreading Strategy, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the Brunsvigia plant from South Africa, which waits for heavy rains to trigger its growth. It bursts through the surface with beautiful flowers that are pollinated by insects. After a few days, the flowers shrivel and die, and the wind carries the seeds far and wide, where they quickly begin to grow and start the cycle again! This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In How Plants Travel and Grow, narrator Sir David Attenborough discovers how plants spread their seeds, even though they can’t move! Deep in the Borneo forests, plants use wind to give their seeds wings — like the Alsomitra vine’s gliding seeds that soar hundreds of meters on a gentle breeze. In Arizona, the saguaro cactus relies on bats to pollinate its flowers, which bloom for just one cool night before fading. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In Acorn Adventure, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers are on a quest to find acorns! These tiny nuts grow into huge trees, but what happens when acorns fall onto the ground? Join the Ramblers to learn more about this amazing seed. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
Invite your students to explore the life cycles of common organisms with these life cycle sequencing cards. The cards cover the bean plant, butterfly, birch tree, apple tree, honeybee, ladybug, and frog. They come already mixed up, so kids can color, cut, and put them in order. Use as an introductory task, check for understanding, center activity, or study guide!
As you introduce life cycles, focus on key concepts such as stages of growth, changes in form and function, and the idea that all living things follow a pattern from beginning to end. Encourage students to ask questions, make predictions, and notice patterns across plants and animals.
Teaching life cycles in elementary school is not only standards-based, it's also a great way to help students understand how living things grow and change over time. At this level, students are ready to explore clear, observable stages — like seed to plant or egg to adult—and begin comparing similarities and differences across species.
In Where Do Ducks Live?, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers are on a quest to find ducks! Join them as they find a pond and learn about how ducks’ features make them unique, and how ducks disperse seeds. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
