In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!

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

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"

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

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

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

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

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.
