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

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 (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

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

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

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

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.
