From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.
The Water (Hydrologic) Cycle: Transpiration
Source Institutions
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

Plant Piping
Source Institutions
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.

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

A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

Mussel Your Way Through Photosynthesis
Source Institutions
Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

Living Clocks
Source Institutions
In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

Transformation of E. coli Using Green Fluorescent Protein
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.
