In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

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 (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

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

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

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 environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.
