In this fun gardening activity, learners discover their soil type. There are three basic soil types: sand, silt, and clay.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

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 use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners investigate how plants use water. By making the flowers change color, learners see how water moves up the stem to the leaves and the flowers.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

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

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this activity, learners try to revive wilted celery. Learners discover that plants wilt when their cells lose water through evaporation. Use this activity to introduce capillary action.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.
