Tree-mendous Plots
Source Institutions
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.

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.

Swell Homes
Source Institutions
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.

Leaf Me Alone
Source Institutions
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.

Squash Dissection
Source Institutions
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.

Grow a Garden in a Glove
Source Institutions
Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

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

Seed Orbs
Source Institutions
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.

Natural Indicators
Source Institutions
Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).

How Might Elevated CO2 Affect Plants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

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

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

Lighting Up Celery Stalks
Source Institutions
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

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Cactus Wheel
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

Growing Food From Scraps
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

Attention!
Source Institutions
In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

Drawing From Nature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners draw natural objects to explore the details, differences, and similarities of natural objects.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

Discovery Time: Wildflowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.
