In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.

In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

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

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

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 outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

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 will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.
