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

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

In this activity, learners perform a plant dissection to gain a better understanding of a plant’s structure and function.

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 food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this activity (on pages 23-29), partners use the Plant Traveler Cards, along with a world map and map worksheets, to follow plants such as cassava, chocolate and coffee that grew first in one part

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

This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre

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 biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

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 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 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 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 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 use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

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