In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

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

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

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.

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

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

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

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this indepth hands-on activity, learners build a structure that allows them to observe the growth of roots and the correlation between root growth and stem extension.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.
