In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.

In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!

In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.

In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

In this activity, learners imagine the path their food takes from planting a seed, all the way to sitting on their kitchen counters. Explore concepts for each step food takes to reach your home.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

While playing a game, learners discover how the Endangered Species Act works in the United States. Learners move along a game board by answering questions correctly.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.
