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

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

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.

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 hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

While playing a game, learners discover how the Endangered Species Act works in the United States. Learners move along a game board by answering questions correctly.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.
