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

In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

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 will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

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 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 make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners find the swollen bumps known as "galls" on various plants and get a closeup look at the parasitic animals living inside.

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

Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

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

In this four-part laboratory exercise, learners investigate properties of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) including (1) symptoms induced by the virus in susceptible plants at the macroscopic and microscopi

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.
