Transpiration: How Much Water Does a Tree Transpire in One Day? In this activity, students will make a small terrarium that will allow them to observe and measure the water given off through transpiration. Modeling Tree Transpiration Lab Activity 1 - The Stages of a Plant’s Life
Identify the different stages of a plant’s life cycle Activity 2 - A Closer Look at Plants Recognize that plants have a complex structure Activity 3 - Getting to the Root of Roots Demonstrate and observe root growth from a germinating seed Activity 4 - Stems in Action Observation of the forces that move water through a plant stem Activity 5 - Looking at Leaves Demonstrate where plants store starch made in the leaves Activity 6 - What Does it Take to Make a Seed? Observation of the different components of a flower Activity 7 - Surrounded by Seeds Collect different types of seeds Activity 8 - Germinating Seeds the Easy Way Experiment with different seed germination methods Activity 9 - Can Shoots Grow Roots? Learn how to root plant cuttings Activity 10 - Growing Roots in the Air Learn how to “air layer” a plant Activity 11 - Plants from Stems Learn how to propagate plants using rhizomes, stolons, and bulbs Activity 12 - More Plants from Unique Plant Parts Learn how to propagate a plant using tubers and fleshy roots Plants have amazing power, as this garden activity for kids shows. You might think that rocks would be stronger than plants, but plants are strong enough to break through rock. This experiment will show you how strong plant power can be.
