The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

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 conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.
