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

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

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 plant grass seed and track the growth of the grass over time.

Learners assemble a figure from a nylon stocking or sock stuffed with soil and seeds. The ends of the nylons inside the jar absorb water, which feeds the grass seeds.

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

Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.
