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

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 search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

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 investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

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

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.

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.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.
