In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.
