In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

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 activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

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

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, young learners, (2 years and up) explore animal behavior and adaptations by providing a "track trap" and observing the signs animals leave behind.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.
