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 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 online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

This guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

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

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

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.

In this laboratory exercise, learners will discover how many different plant hosts they can find that are infected by the same genus of a powdery mildew fungus, or how many different genera of powdery

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this four-part laboratory exercise, learners investigate properties of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) including (1) symptoms induced by the virus in susceptible plants at the macroscopic and microscopi

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

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 outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.
