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 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 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 activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

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

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

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 make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

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 build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.
