Paths and Ponds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.
How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.
What's Hiding in the Air?: Acid Rain Activity
As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.
Floating and Sinking Fruits and Veggies
