In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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.

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

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
