The weather is finally warm and we’re getting our plans together for our garden.  I love this time of year! It’s the perfect time to study seeds, and that’s just what my children and I are going to do over the next few weeks.

This post was originally published in April 2014! We still study seeds almost every year because the warmth of spring begs us to do so. ❤ This post and packet have been updated a few times throughout the years. Please download the newest version and enjoy again!

🌼 It’s the perfect time of year to add some more spring learning activities to your school day! Choose from more spring science activities, math and phonics worksheets, writing prompts, color by code, and much more.

Seed Observation Worksheet for Kids

This whole seed observation packet will help guide your spring seed study. The Seed Observation worksheet is especially fun, as it encourages your children to observe your seed’s growth each day. The findings are always fun!

You can’t have a seed unit study and not grow a few seeds!  Whether you choose to use a ziploc bag or clear cup, or use something a bit more fancy like the Sprout and Grow window, growing seeds is a must.

🌱 Read how we used the Sprout and Grow window in this post.

You’ll want to record your observations each day, so I included a Seed Observation Worksheet in this download.  You can choose which record is best for your children:

— a 1-page record for Days 1-12
— a 2-page record, with 6 days on each page

There is a free Seed Observation Worksheet included in this post, so don’t miss it!

What’s Included in This Seed Worksheet Packet

This printable packet includes much more than a simple worksheet. It’s designed to give your child a full, hands-on way to learn how seeds grow.

Inside this set, you’ll find:

• A seed observation worksheet to track daily growth
• A seed vocabulary page to build understanding of key terms
• A How a Seed Sprouts booklet with multiple ways to use it

Each part works together, so you can easily adjust the activities depending on your child’s age and ability level.

How to Use the Seed Journal Booklet

I usually combined my children in science and history when they were Preschool – 3rd Grade.  It made a more efficient use of my time, and it was just fun to learn together.  Those memories are still dear to my heart!

When I combined all of my children, I needed activities that would be applicable to all ages.

If your situation is similar, this booklet will be perfect for your homeschool or classroom of varying needs.

There are three options available for using this Seed Booklet:

1. Print the booklet with text, arrange the pages in the correct order, and read and read some more!
2. Print the booklet without text, print the writing prompts, and students glue the prompts on the correct page of seed growth.
3. Print the booklet without text, and have students write in each stage of the seed growth cycle.

Choose the option that is best for the age and stage of your children.

Seed Vocabulary Page

Print this seed vocabulary page as a one-time use page, or place it in a page protector and use dry erase markers to fill in the correct answers a few different times this week.

Using this daily for a week or two throughout your unit study would really cement those vocabulary words and their spellings.

There is a color version and a black and white version available in the download.
