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.

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.

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 activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this four-part laboratory exercise, learners investigate properties of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) including (1) symptoms induced by the virus in susceptible plants at the macroscopic and microscopi

In this activity learners will plant grass seed and track the growth of the grass over time.

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

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.
