Air-Plant Interaction
First graders observe, measure, and predict the growth of bean seedlings. They construct graphs of their findings after altering the temperature of the air for the seedlings. They deduct what would happen if the temperature was much lower.

The Plant Restoration Project
Students discuss Restoration Ecology. They see that restoration can mean removing invasive, non-native plants and replacing them with native plants grown by Students.

Creating an Experimental Design
Young scholars research the damage to the environment by certain plant species. They create an experimental design which they test how these species take over certain habitats. They share their information with the class.
