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

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

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 outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.

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.

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 art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.

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 compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

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

In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.
