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

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.

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

This guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

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

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).
