Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

Glove Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

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

A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

Size Wheel
Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).
