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 conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

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.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

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 create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

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 environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
