Parts of a Seed
In this edit-able printout, students will label the parts and purposes of a seed. Word banks can be removed if desired. This printout is designed to accompany a seed dissection. Soak lima beans (from the grocery store works fine) for a few hours to soften the seed. The students can then loosen the seed coat with a pinch of their fingers, separate the two halves of the seed and gently remove the embryo from the seed.

Bird Beak Adaptation Lab -- Middle School
This Bird Beak Adaptation Lab is geared for middle school students. They will learn how organisms adapt to best suit their environment. Beaks are a great example of this. Certain beaks are better at gathering certain foods. That is what this lab shows.I use these materials with my 7th grade middle school science class but they can be modified easily to suit any grade level."Follow me" on my journey to create the best materials for my classroom and TpTIncluded--Teacher Guide on setting up and run
