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.
Temperature Time Warp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.
Leaf Me Alone
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.
Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
Bark Beetle Infestation Investigation: Estimation and Pheromones
Source Institutions
This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Save Your Skin
Source Institutions
This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.
Photosynthesis and Transpiration
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.
See the Colors in Leaves
Source Institutions
Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.
Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
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.
Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
