Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

Discover how the salt in soil affects plant growth with a few seeds, some cotton, and salt. In this hands-on activity, you will plant seeds in 2 different kinds of soil, containing more or less salt.

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.

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

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 activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

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

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.

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 lesson introduces learners to the world of nematodes (roundworms).

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

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

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

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, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.
