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 conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

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

In this indepth hands-on activity, learners build a structure that allows them to observe the growth of roots and the correlation between root growth and stem extension.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

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

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

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

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

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.
