The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

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

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

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

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 an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

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

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

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.

This exercise can be used to stimulate the investigative nature of learners as they use forensic plant pathology techniques to prove the learners' innocence in a mock murder investigation.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.
