This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners perform a plant dissection to gain a better understanding of a plant’s structure and function.

In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

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

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

In this activity (on pages 23-29), partners use the Plant Traveler Cards, along with a world map and map worksheets, to follow plants such as cassava, chocolate and coffee that grew first in one part

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

This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

In this activity, learners investigate how plants use water. By making the flowers change color, learners see how water moves up the stem to the leaves and the flowers.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.
